How do I recall memories?

Though I have only undergone four EMDR sessions, I have found I am able to tolerate the rage and sadness the process resurrects far more than during conventional talk therapy. So I remain cautiously optmistic about EMDR. Having said that, I have struggled during EMDR treatment to recall long-buried, painful memories. I sense that some horrific memories are trying to surface but both my mind and body are fighting to keep a lid on them. How do I open up the door so that those memories can surface? I believe they are key to my healing. So far though I only have a sense something painful is hiding deep in me. They have not yet revealed themselves.
