GOod link. I think I suffer from this,to maybe a lesser degree, and I won't go into why, but it is similar to your prior experiences.
I remember being in the 6th grade and there was this retarded girl who was belching a lot and it made me sick, and I started to cry because it made me so uncomfortable.
Then once when my FIL was in the hospital, he had a roonmate who started, and I had to flee the room. I was in tears.
Then my pets, my kids, and one time my husband. It is very distressing for me, gives me the gag reflex too.
But like all therapists, EMDR T's can vary just as much. What about the EMDR didn't work? It isn't will power or power of suggestion it works. You think of the troubling thought and watch her fingers go back and forth in most cases. They also have paddles that you can hold, that makes the bilateral movement. There is also a sound procedure. All you have to do is think of the bad thing, you don't even have to tell the T what the bad thing is for it to work. I know not everything works for everything. When you used EMDR what was it for?
