- Daniel G. Amen, MD Author of Change Your Brain, Change Your Life
Francine Shapiro has given a life-transforming gift to the world by her rigorous development of a science-validated approach to soothing the suffering of our small and large life traumas. Through case examples and clearly articulated instructions within Getting Past Your Past our skillful guide takes us through the powerful and practical steps, derived from the treatment of literally millions of people, that can transform trauma into triumph. Explore this book with someone you love...beginning with yourself!" - Daniel J. Siegel, MD Clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine Author of The Developing Mind and Mindsight
In Getting Past Your Past, Dr. Francine Shapiro, the developer of EMDR and one of the leading clinical innovators in psychotherapy, translates her groundbreaking method into practical suggestions for those who have been stuck in past events from which they have been unable to free themselves. Eminently readable, Dr. Shapiro has written a volume that is a wonderful resource for those in psychotherapy, as well as those seeking to help themselves. This is a valuable companion for anyone who seeks an understanding of how the past can be carried in our memory networks influencing how we perceive the world, as well as offering practical strategies for growth. - Jeffrey J. Magnavita, Ph.D., ABPP Past President of the Division of Psychotherapy of the American Psychological Association Founder of the Unified Psychotherapy Project
Francine Shapiro's discovery of EMDR is one of the most important breakthroughs in the history of psychotherapy. Having used it as part of my practice for the past 15 years, I, and many of my patients, still marvel at the depth and speed with which it can help heal and change the minds and brains, and even bodily symptoms of people who have been locked in, and suffering from trauma, often for decades. Getting Past Your Past is a wonderful place to begin to understand how such mental healing can occur, filled with case histories of people that are so transformed that these accounts may seem exaggerated. They are not. This book has all the sobriety of a master clinician who has worked in the field of trauma for decades, and is clear, serious, helpful, as it shares with the reader a method of healing trauma that has already helped millions.
- Norman Doidge, MD
Author of The Brain That Changes Itself
In Getting Past Your Past, Francine Shapiro takes her innovative therapy, EMDR, to people everywhere, making the insights and strategies of EMDR treatment available to a broad audience. The transformation of EMDR treatment strategies into self-help techniques is yet another step in Shapiro's journey to make healing from trauma available to all. This book will be a valuable resource for therapists and clients alike, as well as for the many individuals who struggle with the effects of painful life experiences but who do not seek formal treatment.

I am forever indebted to Francine Shapiro and EMDR therapy, which helped me to heal from a terrifying panic disorder. People in pain will now be able to read this groundbreaking book and understand how disturbing memories can be reprocessed. Our lives can become joyful instead of fearful. We can live in the present instead of the past.
- Priscilla Warner, author of Learning to Breathe and coauthor of The Faith Club
Getting Past Your Past provides readers with powerful new insights to understand how traumas and disturbances of all kinds disrupt human potential, and how they can deal with their own distress. Through well-chosen case studies the reader shares the profound experiences of a wide range of individuals and learns the EMDR treatment strategies that have enabled clients to strip "visceral" feelings from memories as a turning point on their path to self-regulation and personal safety.

It appears that Dr. Francine Shapiro has discovered a profound linkage between the mind and body so that each might be healed. These stories of the rebalancing and revivifying of our dynamic nature reminds us that there are successful approaches to healing that are presently offering remarkable cures.
- Stephen and Ondrea Levine, authors of Who Dies?: An Investigation of Conscious Living and Conscious Dying

This self-help book is a cause for tremendous optimism. With EMDR the world finally has a therapy against the damaging effects of trauma, one that is scientifically proven to be effective and quick, low-cost, and widely applicable in a range of settings and cultural milieus. The future of the human potential‹and the world-- looks so much brighter for Francine Shapiro's discovery of EMDR.

How Everyone Can Get Past Your Past
By Boyd C. Purcell
This is an outstanding book on overcoming abusive experiences of one's past regardless of what they are. Dr. Shapiro makes an excellent point that everyone has a past to get past. Unfortunately, some people, unaware that all memories get stored in one's mind as long as the pain associated with these memories remains unprocessed, get stuck in the past, because they do not deal with painful memories. This author, insightfully, categorizes all painful memories as either a large "T" or a small "t" trauma. Large "T" traumas would be the worst things that happen to people from what has been called "PTSD"--Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. These would be such things as: physical and sexual abuse, especially in childhood, and surviving torture, etc. Small "t" traumas would be such things as: teenage bullying, a bad marriage, verbal abuse, loss of job, loss of financial security, loss of love, etc. Dr. Shapiro wisely states that several small "ts" may be as painful as one large "T."
Religious or spiritual abuse, especially fear of being tormented in hell fire forever, may also be a large "T" depending on the age of onset, severity, and duration. Such abuse may well result in what I have termed another form of PTSD—“Post Traumatic Spiritual Disorder.” All of this information is in perfect accord with what I, as a Board Certified Chaplain and Licensed Professional Counselor, have shared with my patients and have written in my books, "Spiritual Terrorism: Spiritual Abuse from the Womb to the Tomb" and "Christianity Without Insanity: For Optimal Mental/Emotional/Physical Health."

The light is on, and I now know where the lightswitch is!
By Avid
I have a feeling that the two people that wrote 3 star reviews with criticism didn't read the whole book. I just finished it, and I feel like the light has been turned on for me. Actually, it is better than that: I now know where the light switch is (the exercises used within the context of Dr Shapiro's model.) The stories of other people's lives are great, but the exercises that Dr Shapiro suggests have really connected the dots for me. I understand myself, my feelings, my automatic reactions, and my knee jerk responses. I also understand my strengths - and why some things get to me at times and not at other times. I am more understanding of why others behave as they do. You know how people always say "don't take it personally" or "it isn't about you?" Well I get it now - it really IS about their own past experience. I also get why the self care things people say are so important ARE so essential - in order to be present and respond to life from TODAY rather than the experiences of the PAST. I might decide to see an EMDR therapist at some point, but what I have gained so far is like finally being able to breathe. It is fascinating and freeing to have a window into myself and some techniques for change.
The book provides a link to some impressive research you can download: just google "EMDR GPYP Trauma Research Findings and Further Reading" AND I just found that Dr Shapiro has a column in the New York Times website that is pretty interesting too: just google "EMDR NYTimes"

This is a must-read for everyone, regardless of your ...
By A. Egan
This is a must-read for everyone, regardless of your mental health. The appeal to the intellectual part of my brain is what sold it for me. It began to make so much sense that unprocessed memories from childhood will "trigger" *reactions* in adulthood. Anyone who spends any time reflecting on why they react in certain ways and then tries to work on it, will have 1,000 a-ha moments reading this book. It also speaks to how the brain is a finicky thing. Just because you haven't suffered a capital T trauma, it still can nag at you in unsuspecting ways. For all the people who had unkind teachers, coaches, unsupportive parents, this will be help you understand why you might find yourself emotionally saying from time to time: "Jeez it bugs me so much when" but intellectually saying "Jeez it shouldn't bug me so much when" :)
