(HS Kecmanovic 096517 2022) Transforming Regret: How to Forgive Oneself to Improve the Future
Tracking # 20-924606
Course overview
People talk about regret more than any other emotion except love. And these days, ever-increasing choice, speed of technology, and social-media shaming have all made us particularly prone to regret. When it spirals into shame, rumination, and intense self-criticism, it can lead to depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and avoidance. By helping clients respond constructively to regret, they'll be able to leverage it to improve their lives. You'll discover how to: Increase self-compassion using meditation, guided imagery, somatic techniques, and expressive writing Improve emotional awareness and reduce rumination by expanding emotional vocabulary, differentiating emotions, locating them in the body, and enacting them Stimulate radical acceptance of both feelings and reality, and identify common thinking traps involved in regret to boost flexibility Use regret to clarify what's important in life, make amends, and improve future actions
