One of the things that I like about EMDR is that I don't have to talk about things that I would prefer not to. The directions my Ts have given is to start with some triggering thing and then let my mind wander. They stop periodically and ask what is going on, and I can say as much or as little as I want, and be as specific or vague as I want. One of them says that what is going through my head is important for me to know, but that she doesn't need to know.
None of my Ts have said that I need to stop seeing them. (well, other than the one who retired) Doing EMDR and resolving some stuff has led to me wanting to end with T2, which I did and it was ok. I haven't ended with T3 and she is not insisting that I do; we do more talking (which I don't really like) and less body stuff. But finishing up with EMDR doesn't mean that you have to quit therapy if you don't want to.
