I'm not altogether sure my therapist believes in the eye movement techniques either. She stopped them for a while during the process to try an auditory approach. The trouble is that I thought the auditory approach involved alternating sounds in the left and right ear? She played the tape on a regular tape player that was stationed in the room. I'm not sure how it could have differentiated ears... She also stopped the entire thing for a while to do that EFT process, which also didn't do anything for me.
She did give me a bit of insight (which I already knew but had never put into words), but that was before the EMDR started and came from her experience as a fellow former catholic schoolgirl.
