In my own work with clients it also appears that tactile and auditory stimulation are less stimulating than eye movements.

We do know that eye movements 'per se' without doing EMDR, increase brain activity. The underlying neural circuitry of eye movements and vision is much more extensive and complex than that of tactile or auditory senses. Thus it would make theoretical sense that the latter are less stimulating.

In complex trauma disorders, pacing of treatment is crucial and overstimulation needs to be avoided. This may explain that clients who have more severe disorders due to histories of multiple trauma and/or attachment issues often prefer the types of stimulation that may be lesss activating.
