Am I The Problem?
Helen Villiers MAYou grew up neurodivergent in a toxic household. Now you can't tell if you're the problem, if you're overreacting, or if the thing you're upset about is even a thing. You apologise for existing, you can't say no without a panic attack, and you genuinely don't know what you want for dinner. Am I The Problem? is a podcast for late-diagnosed ADHD and autistic adults working out what got installed wro... more

You meet someone who’s kind, consistent, and genuinely interested in you. They reply when they say they will. They don’t play games. They don’t leave you guessing.
And somehow... it doesn’t feel right.

I always learn something new from Helen and have taken away fantastic practical examples to use when I need help to support my child. Everybody’s story although different never fails to give me a light bulb moment. Thank you, you help keep me grounded!

I came across an episode of Helen’s podcasts on youtube. From what I heard, it sounded like actual therapy! I decides to listen closer here, through the pod format.
I’ve only listened to one episode so far and am very impressed from how Helen follows the person she talks to! I am intrigued by having access to such difficult as these actually are.
I want to commend every person in the programme for being so, so brave ❤️ And thank you to you all and Helen for giving an open source where people ca... more

Every story of parental narcissistic abuse is different but the core themes are exactly the same in all and that’s what makes listening to these conversations so full of light bulb moments. Helen is world class in her ability to lead a person out of the ‘cult like’ state of captivity that narcissistic abuse puts a person in and setting them firmly on the path to freedom.

This series is invaluable in helping so many people who relate to the themes of living with someone narcissistic or being brought up by a narcissistic parent and the impact of this. These podcasts are the best of their type by far..

Frequently Asked Questions About Am I The Problem?
What is Am I The Problem? about and what kind of topics does it cover?
A psychologically oriented show that unpacks how neurodivergence (ADHD and autism) interacts with toxic family dynamics to shape emotions, boundaries, and behavior.
