Buggy as hell alpha that still does the trick (just visual stim capable)

...there was an association happening that would make it impossible for me to
function in my place of work.  I began calling to see if I could get in early
with my therapist, but being put on the 'call if cancellations occur' list was
the best that they could do.

Out of necessity, I decided to break out this app.  I'd since learned that you
don't need all of the sensory stims at play, and if that was the case, then
using the functional visual display (conveniently set to stop the session
after 5 minutes, by default) should provide some measure of being able to
defuse that reaction.

It helped for me.  I'm still using it.

It occurred to me that, due to the state of mental health care in this
country, if not others, it might be the humanitarian thing to do to make a
usable version of this program available as an open alpha to those who really
need a session, especially if it's a situation like mine, where the trigger
had to be defused at risk of homelessness, inability to pay for necessities,
going hungry, etc.  I've been in those situations so many times from things
like this, and I feel that there is probably a large, and usually disregarded,
subset of people with financial and stability issues that could benefit from
such 'self-therapy' being available.  If you're in this category, I wish you
the best of luck, and please let me know if there's anything that I can do to
help.

So that brings us to this point (21oct18).  I'm going to disclaim the hell out
of this in documentation, put it under a development license, and throw that
into a release.  Apropos of it all: use at your own risk, and hopefully
your own benefit, as well.
