Tetris1Have a terrible closing or worse, one fall through at the last minute? Spend a week showing homes with the worlds most annoying couple and then find out they bought a FSBO?

Well the answer to getting rid of the pain is not a bottle of scotch, it is playing the game Tetris. Really…

British researchers found that playing the popular computer game shortly after the trauma helped wipe out the bad memories and reduce distressing flashbacks.

The psychologists from Oxford University believe the discovery could lead to new treatments for accident victims in hospitals as well as those involved in war zones.

“This is only a first step in showing that this might be a viable approach to preventing post traumatic stress disorder,’ said Dr Emily Holmes of the Department of Psychiatry at Oxford University, who led the work.  via the Telegraph.

Well, Tetris is also cheaper than the scotch, but probably not as fun.
