        @phyllisofickle @GraveyDice It might not be easy or feel natural, but it could prevent months or years of nightmares and flashbacks.

        @avantgame Fascinating. But isn't one way to conquer PTSD to process memories so you can incorporate them into normal sense of self/ story?

        @muscleupmom yes. This is what you to do to prevent PTSD. If you already have PTSD then you have you try other approaches.

        @GrowFromHereNZ @avantgame Would be interesting to see if this has a long-term effect as well as a short-term one.

        @avantgame Wow. Sadly untestable but it might've worked for me. My cptsd barely has visuals, was addicted to Tetris through the worst part.

        @avantgame it sounds too easy to be true. But I guess the hard part is getting the word out. So I know what I have to do. :-)

        @avantgame I've seen this method mentioned (and used) on reddit a few times. Most said it helped cope.

        @avantgame we should create a game that incorporates Tetris & audio EMDR stimulation to prevent acute stress disorder & PTSD!

        @avantgame I'm curious if a game like 2048 or 3's has the same benefit. i.e. matching games based on math vs. patterns/colors.
