Hey! Welcome to another episode of MHVR Bytes! This episode is a wild ride.Me and Dr. Jessica Stone sat down with the Dr. Howard Gurr, one of the OGs of tech in therapy. He was using the internet for his practice when people still thought AOL was a good idea. Now? He’s helping clients face their fears with virtual reality, and doing it so well they’re done in just a few sessions. We’re talking spiders, planes, public speaking... all handled with a headset and some serious know-how.

We get into the juicy stuff:

• 🎧 Why VR therapy isn’t just a gimmick
• 🧠 How it cuts treatment time (and yes, insurance might cover it now)
• 🕹️ The plank story that made Howard say, “Nope, I’m not stepping off”
• 📈 Why so many therapists are still behind on this game-changing tech

Plus, Dr. Howard shares his vision for the future of mental health, building a worldwide VR therapist directory, and what’s stopping clinicians from diving in.

If you’re a therapist, mental health nerd, or just curious about how sci-fi is turning into real life therapy tools, this one’s for you.
