My experience:
EFT- First use it helped to practice the taps first then focus on the problem, use the words “I accept the anxiety/pain/injury completely” while tapping (download tapping point pic to phone) & follow where the feeling goes as the anxiety/pain/emotional intesity around the injury dissipates.
Eye movement desensitization- EMD
EMD involves moving the eye back & forth while reviewing a traumatic memory. It appears most effective when walking in nature while scanning the beauty around.
Tetris EMD
Playing tetris after a trauma appears to prevent PTSD.
Playing tetris while recalling a trauma that caused PTSD appears to re-encode the memory as no longer traumatic.
Word games like crosswords may also be useful (self test).

Emotional freedom technique-EFT
EFT has up to a 98% success rate in over 100 studies against emotional, mental & physical problems. It involves tapping a few places on the head, neck & chest while accepting & reviewing problems and not only works against anxiety & PTSD but has relieved most physical, mental & emotional problems.
EFT is as much a psychological technique as physical, working like self psychotherapy. People state they have a problem and accept it then listen to their feelings about the problem while tapping and go where the emotion takes them. Problems not resolved alone often work out with a therapist who uses EFT
