Drawn from what Scott Alexander said

EMDRTrauma

EMDR Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing: a trauma therapy in which the patient recalls a memory while moving their eyes from side to side. Recommended as a first-line PTSD treatment; whether the eye movements themselves do anything is still argued about.

Trauma What overwhelming experience leaves behind, and whether it is stored in the body, the memory, or the loop between them.

    Essayist; writes Astral Codex Ten

    Eye movement directed reprocessing (alternative when the book was written, now basically establishment) where you move your eyes back and forth while talking about your trauma, and this seems to somehow help you process it better.
