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 deep into the world of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and address some common criticisms and concerns.

We'll explore the debate around the necessity of eye movements in the EMDR process and discuss alternative forms of bilateral stimulation, such as beeping sounds and tactile buzzers. You'll hear about the fascinating theories behind why EMDR works, from mimicking REM sleep to enhancing brain hemisphere communication.

Join us as we unravel the layers of personal growth, healing from trauma, and building healthy relationships. If you're here to heal, understand yourself or your relationships better, you're in the right place. So sit back, get comfortable, and let's start healing. Welcome to Mr. and Mrs. Therapy.
