I tried EMDR with a former T., did it about 5-6 times.

What is this about taping your leg? I was never touched. Mine had something(don't remember the name...) that clicked and then she would have me focus on a wand-type stick that she held and swung back and forth as I followed it with my eyes-- she never touched me-- I would be so uncomfortable if she did! though, with that said-- the EMDR did not do one thing for me...... it just didn't work...... maybe I was dissociating too much..... I don't know for sure.... but I do know it didn't do anything for me.

Please try not to worry about pleasing your regular T., if something is not feeling helpful for you-- you should say so. EMDR, or for that matter, any particular type of therapy is not a one size fits all. Some things work for some people and some don't-- doesn't mean anything bad-- just that it's not the right process at the time. Your therapy should be about you and helping you-- and hopefully your T. will understand that.
I think you deserve a commendation for trying it-- shows you are open to progress(IMO)
