A lot of personal development gurus preach that
the past does not equal the future and I agree that's true. But it is not
necessarily true. For one, most people don't truly rise above the past circumstances in life. I've never seen evidence that the majority of people rise above their personal history.
I'd say that the past does not
need to equal the future, but it probably will if you don't come to terms with it. If you come to terms with
your past, you are prepared to create a compelling future. Coming to a quiet and honest acceptance of the past is critical. It isn't a given, however. This is what we're talking about today with Dr. Shapiro, so please
listen to this episode. You'll learn a great deal about how to move on from your past in this one hour show.
Francine Shapiro, Ph.D., is the originator and developer of EMDR, which has been so well researched that it is now recommended as an effective treatment for trauma in the Practice Guidelines of the American Psychiatric Association, and those of the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. Dr. Shapiro is a Senior Research Fellow at the Mental Research Institute, Palo Alto, California, Executive Director of the EMDR Institute in Watsonville, CA, and founder and President Emeritus of the EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs, a non-profit organization that coordinates disaster response and low fee trainings worldwide.
She is a recipient of the International Sigmund Freud Award for distinguished contribution to psychotherapy presented by the City of Vienna in conjunction with the World Council, the American Psychological Association Trauma Division Award for Outstanding Contributions to Practice in Trauma Psychology, and the Distinguished Scientific Achievement in Psychology Award presented by the California Psychological Association.
