It's a type of treatment - Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing - that allows you to get over past events that have become sticking points in your head (now cause anxiety, or other symptoms). It's often used for people who have experienced traumatic events in their past. For me, I am trying to change how I react to being alone. Used to race for the closet and gulp a drink.
It's a fascinating treatment. It has been working well for my panic attacks and anxiety, so I am hopeful it well help me change this life sapping habit.

thanks for the well wishes!
