hi im waine. I developed social anxiety when my grandad died when i was 8. Im 23 now. I was wondering whether anyone had ever tried rapid eye movement therapy and whether it helped them at all. As i understand it, you close your eyes and replay in your mind the event that caused your social anxiety to develop. So for example in this case i would visualise seeing my grandad just lying there as i did. Andthen you move your eyes quickly from side to side up and down at the same time. This is how i understand it but it may be wrong. I have tried exposure, cbt and am on medication but just was wondering about this method of treatment.
