Are you using a kind of self-administered EMDR for short term stress relief?

Yes. I went to therapy for a while and my therapist tried it with me and it felt beneficial. Not that my anxiety went away but I lessened notably which to be honest surprised me. After doing it in two consecutive sessions she told me I can always try the same procedure at home and instead of following her hand I can pick two spots on the wall and move my eyes between them while going through the process internally. I found it works equally well and I still use it as a tool which helps.
