Welcome to Mr. and Mrs. Therapy, the podcast that empowers you to transform life's challenges into opportunities for personal growth and healthier relationships. We're your hosts, Tim and Ruth Olson, licensed marriage and family therapists and trauma experts.

In this episode, we dive into the criticisms surrounding EMDR therapy, specifically the claims that its effectiveness is overstated. We'll compare EMDR to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Therapy, discussing their respective benefits and drawbacks. Additionally, we'll explore how EMDR is not just for PTSD, but also effective for treating depression, anxiety, phobias, OCD, addiction, and chronic pain.

Join us as we debunk the myths and provide evidence-based insights into the transformative power of EMDR therapy. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this episode will shed light on the broader applications and benefits of this innovative therapeutic approach.
