associations?

I'm wondering if there is a difference between the "free associations" being referred to here (free associations with desenstization vs emdr)?

Doesn't emdr purportedly increase and intensify associations? In my own experience, emdr acts oddly like an automatic "affect bridge". So these are not associations/insights that anyone in a cognitive talk therapy might articulate, but come from more deeply subconscious place, with more associated affect. So wouldn't comparing the associations in these two therapies (desensitization vs emdr) be a comparison of apples and oranges?

I'm asking from a purely clinical, not research, standpoint.
