Re:question about eye movements

Well, I can't say what's happening in your case with eye movements. There are a lot of individual differences in people of course.

I don't usually use eye movements when using containment imagery because eye movements tend to be associative, and containment tends to be dissociative. that is we are utilizing the ability to separate information from consciousness to provide relaxation. Eye movements can precipitate association and processing of the material I'm trying to contain.

Eye movements in EMDR tend to be left-right or up-down or diagonal, but not tracing a shape in space.

PS. I was only teasing the so-called non-compliant poster -- the comments were good, tho not on EMDR.
