Possible suggestions for loss of treatment gains over time with EMDR

Devilly, G. J. (2001). The influence of distraction during exposure and research allegiance during outcome trials. the Behavior Therapist, 24(1), 18-21.

"This article presented a brief review of a growing trend for EMDR-related samples to show dissipation in treatment gains over time. This is a direct comparison to exposure-based treatments to maintain gains over time or to continue to improve the functioning of those treated...The explanation offered in this article was based predominantly on the effects of distraction on exposure and, specifically, its interfering effects on habituation...Overall, it was noted that participant demand effects, researcher allegiance, and the biasing effects of experimenter expectation may be having effects on the results where face-to-face interviews were included as part of follow-up" (p. 20).
