Everyone needs therapy at least once.A real, honest conversation about trauma, healing, and what therapy actually looks like beyond the surface.
In this episode of The Woman UP! Podcast, Martha sits down with psychotherapist Nabila to unpack what CBT and EMDR really are, how trauma is stored in the body, and why therapy isn’t just for crisis moments.
They talk about emotional resilience, motherhood, NHS waitlists, burnout, and the emotional labour women carry — all through the lens of healing, mental health, and living with more ease.
🎙 Topics in this episode:
– CBT vs EMDR explained
– How trauma affects the brain and body
– Mental health in the NHS system
– Therapy vs. emotional support systems
– Working mums, burnout & invisible emotional labour
– Building a business while being a therapist and mother
🧠 If you’ve ever felt like you had to carry it all, or questioned whether therapy is “for you” — this episode is one you’ll feel deeply.
