Not specifically that I know of, they did ask me to fill in questionnaires for scientific data collection but I ignored those :')

All we had was a brief explanation of the EMDR and roughly what it is, like following the light from left to right etc. This is one of the biggest orginazation for mental health stuff in the Netherlands, they have a big building with loads of rooms. The only prep we had was a session to...

Nope... And every of the eight session had a different therapist. It was a combination of Imaginary exposure and going into the EMDR when tension was high in order to lower the tension. They had us score the tension during the IE and EMDR so I guess that's the safety they had in place.
