Publisher's Summary

Whether we've experienced small setbacks or major traumas, we are all influenced by memories and experiences we may not remember or don't fully understand. Getting Past Your Past offers practical procedures that demystify the human condition and empower listeners looking to achieve real change.

Francine Shapiro, the creator of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), explains how our personalities develop and why we become trapped into feeling, believing, and acting in ways that don't serve us. Through detailed examples and exercises, listeners will learn to understand themselves, and why the people in their lives act the way they do. Most importantly, listeners will also learn techniques to improve their relationships, break through emotional barriers, overcome limitations, and excel in ways taught to Olympic athletes, successful executives, and performers.

An easy conversational style, humor, and fascinating real life stories make it simple to understand the brain science behind why we get stuck in various ways and what we can about it.

a useful tool for self guided study

For individuals looking to understand the EMDR therapeutic process, probable benefits, and applicable tools for immediate use, this book is great. Pay paticular attention to the behavioral exercises and examples given for specific situations where involving a professional could be useful. I found this book was a good jumping off point to prepare myself for EMDR therapy and self guided use of practical EMDR related tools.

Excellente vulgarisation

La méthode EMDR est bien expliquée dans un langage clair et accessible. L'auteur, Dre Shapiro, met en relief l'impact que peuvent avoir certains de nos souvenirs "non-processés" dans nos vies. Plusieurs techniques "self-help" sont décrites pour aider au quotidien. Très utile.
