A Clinicians Guide to Letting Go of Regrets

Course overview

Self-Study | 6 CE's | This course is a clinician's guide to assisting clients in coming to terms with - and then embracing and, finally, releasing - the regrets of their lives so that they can be used productively for their own growth and for the benefit of others. This course describes a practical program of ten steps for moving beyond the past and the regret it holds into the present and the rich life it promises. The ten-step program described in this book is based on extensive research, including the psychological literature on regrets, resentments, and their healing; spiritual literature on prayer and meditation, forgiveness, and acceptance; interviews with psychiatrists, members of the clergy, and other experts in psychological and spiritual matters; and the methodology of the Twelve Steps originated by Alcoholics Anonymous and used by dozens of other self-help groups. The Ten Steps utilize spiritual and therapeutic practices that include visualization, journaling, self-examination, cognitive analysis, affirmations, prayer, meditation, and sharing with others. Course Objectives: Define what a regret is. Determine ways to analyze regrets. Identify toxic though patterns. Identify lessons and gifts. Develop a plan of action to let go of regret. Design a plan for living free of regret.
