After listening to the tones or doing eye movements for a short while (a minute or two) I will ask you to take a break and tell me what you're aware of now (feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and body sensations) and during the eye movements. I listen empathically and then ask you to do it again (listen to the tones or move your eyes back and forth) focussing on what came up. We continue in this way -- listening to the tones or moving your eyes, taking a break and sharing your experiences, back to the tones or eye movements and so on. Some people prefer to talk while listening to the tones or during the eye movements and that's fine too; we'll still take breaks. EMDR is a tool, and we will find the best way for it to benefit you.
