thats exactly what mine says too. i cant let go and im trying so hard but i just get stuck more. i cant do the actual eye movements i got all dizzy and it was way distracting....mine taps on my knees which is fine. and i have my eyes closed and i think that partially freaks me out. shes sitting there staring at me and i have my eyes closed and shes up close and im all "ahhhhhhhhh!!!!" i just cant relax. my mind wanders when im by myself doing things like the dishes or walking...its like my own EMDR i guess? i dont know if it could work the same. then i take what i think about in to T and try to talk to her about it. not sure what to do with it.
