`The idea is to disconnect the memory from the reactions to
`the memory, so that although the memory of the traumatic
`event remains, the everyday things that can trigger fear
`and panic, such as trash blowing across the interstate or a

`thus becomes a discrete event, not a constant, self-
`replicating, encompassing condition. —Sue Halpern, New
