I have had both experiences with EMDR. Recently though I am really feeling things during the EMDR because I am working on some intense trauma memories. But even then things still continue to process for a couple of days. For me 3 days is the magic number! lol But I am also comfortable in showing emotion with my T now, so I allow myself to go there during EMDR.
My T uses the hand buzzers mostly but also taps on my knees sometimes.
