Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy

Anyone ever heard of this? It's supposed to be used to treat PTSD and stuff like that. Anyone know if it can be used for anxiety?

I tried this therapy about 5 times, and quite honestly I thought it was a joke... Needless to say, it didn't work for me. The professionals thought I also had PTSD because my mother physically abused me when I was little.
