HISTORY OF GPYB/GPYB
Many people come here confused about “What is GPYP? ” “What is GPYB?” “Why two different names?”
The ORIGINAL program in the 1990s was Getting Past Your Past. When I came back to teach it in NY, I found that not only had someone published a book of the same name but the author had the same name (and spelling) as me (how weird is that?)
I don’t know if she looked for a title and google’d her name or something and found a reference to me – no idea – but before I discovered her book, I had already started teaching Getting Past Your Past in NYC and had started a Getting Past Your Past blog (on wordpress dot com) You can see old copies of the GPYP blog and website on the Wayback Machine.
The “other” Susan Elliott, author of the “other” GPYP is a Christian author and GPYB is secu lar (but one of the Getting Past Your Breakup reviews dinged the book because there was too much “Jesus as your husband” in it. Anyone who has read GPYB knows there are exactly zero references to Jesus, let alone Him being your husband… another time I was dinged for “being a Christian writer who did not mention Jesus once in the book or exhort anyone to pray….” )
So I’ve been dinged by people confusing her book with mine and visa versa. So I try to differentiate ourselves from her as it has caused issues, but there are still people who look for me via Getting Past Your Past.
To complicate things, a very competent author and creator of EMDR, Francine Shapiro, published a book in 2013 titled Getting Past Your Past. I am a HUGE proponent of EMDR and am a fan of Francine Shapiro, so I want to further distinguish GPYB from GPYP.
When I discovered the “other” Susan Elliott, I changed the program name to Getting Past Your Breakup BUT we use Getting Past Your Past when we are encompassing ALL the materials (Getting Past Your Breakup, Getting Back Out There AND material that was part of the original Getting Past Your Past program).
While I apologize for any confusion with the other Susan Elliott or Francine Shapiro, I was the first person to use the phrase, Getting Past Your Past and have tried to be gracious in distinguishing myself from them.
