Podcast Coping with Regrets and Mistakes for Mental Health
The Power of Regret: Learning, Growing, and Moving On
You are walking down the street, having a good day, when suddenly you remember something you did 10 years ago — something you regret. How do you deal with that? Should you dwell and ruminate on it? Should you let it go and never think of it again? Or, as today’s guest suggests, should you try to learn from it and move on? Join us as Robert Leahy, a pivotal figure in the development of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), explains the difference between productive and unproductive regret.
