    Have you ever heard of EMDR therapy? This really reminds me of this. It’s a newer therapy that is geared towards trauma. They do this weird thing where they have the participants move their eyes back and forth while thinking of their trauma. People seem to be torn on whether or not the eye movements themselves help or if it’s just the nature of performing an action while doing so. Kind of sounds like a similar concept to me.

      Whoops, that’s exactly what I meant to say, I accidentally typo’d it to NMDR. Yeah, EMDR is an interesting thing that I’m not sure how it works, I just know anecdotally that it works for my wife.
