Good luck tomorrow. If my experience counts for much, your interviewees will pretty much just try to get to know you and assess your situation. I didn't begin EMDR until my second session, and my EMDR therapist said she often waits longer than that to begin w/clients she doesn't know. Her/his goal s/be to make you feel comfortable and to familiarize you w/the process.
Also, think of a safe place you'd like to use to retreat to if anything difficult comes up. My EMDR T recommends that often and I often visualize this place at the end of my EMDR sessions or when I feel overwhelmed.
I'll be thinking about you,
antigua
