@Mach123 it needs to be a skilful therapist who is attuned and dexterous enough to know when to slot the EMDR processing in, yes. The process itself is quite simple.
I tried EMDR. As @Actualise said, it's quite a simple process. To be honest, it didn't really help me much. And the therapist was not particularly skilled so in some ways it actually hurt me.
But I've heard it can be amazing - depending on the therapist.
No, certainly not. I had one trauma target which we finished but trying to do zoom EDMR online over lockdown with a therapist who wasn't very supportive, after 10 months of sessions she stopped seeing me because I was dealing with suicidal ideation she didn't investigate.
