You can get a good feel for the therapy in the book Getting Past Your Past: Take Control of Your Life with Self-Help Techniques from EMDR Therapy.
There is a review of the book on this website by Bobbi Emel. The book includes many self-help techniques for anxiety and stress management and ways to change negative thoughts and emotions. Your therapist will also teach you ways to manage your emotions during memory processing and between sessions. The book is a good companion to the therapy and after.
