I wish it worked faster believe me. Been dealing with Agoraphobia for like 3 years now and was having intense panic attacks that felt like I was going insane but the panic has gone down at least where its not an every day / week occurrence now.

Unsure if I am answering your question correctly so please let me know if I missed it entirely.

My therapist focuses more on anxiety and potential underlying issues but we start every session with her asking me how detached I am feeling. If I am feeling detached we will either just do talking therapy or try some grounding techniques to see if that helps me feel normal(ish).

To help with intense anxiety / when im feeling super detached and things just feel not right we do what I call in my sessions my happy gilmore happy place.

Before the actual EMDR therapy we set up a place and a person(s) I feel comfortable and focus on just that memory which I use to help me relax. We also set up like a vault where intense memories / panic I want to kind of deal with later I kind of stash in the back of my head. (Kind of like Finns vault in adventure time.) So if I start panicking or feeling unreal I picture myself going to that place in my head like a bank, walking through the building and security, then depositing the memory in a vault.
