Perhaps: If your anxieties can be focused on, or are related to traumatic experiences which can be targeted, then emdr may be helpful to you. Consult with a therapist trained in emdr to find out. Some resources: http://tinyurl.Com/lrtjscc cognitive behavioral therapy would be better for social phobia, gad, and agoraphobia without trauma components, though. Best wishes.

EMDR: Emdr is not of benefit in gad or social anxiety with agoraphobia. Cognitive behavior therapy would stand a better chance of working.
