"The Psychology of Regret." — Sunday (TONIGHT) Warriors for Life (WFL) Virtual Group Support!
https://www.victoryforveterans.org/post/the-psychology-of-regret-sunday-warriors-for-life-wfl-virtual-group-support
TONIGHT join Veteran, Mental Health Counselor, and Jungian Psychotherapist PO3 Christopher St. John for Warriors for Life (WFL) Group Support.
Chris will NOT BE HOSTING on January 5th and 12th, so mark your calendars.
TONIGHT's Topic: "The Psychology of Regret."
What is Regret?
Regret is a negative cognitive or emotional state that involves blaming ourselves for a bad outcome, feeling a sense of loss or sorrow at what might have been, or wishing we could undo a previous choice that we made.
For young people in particular, regret, although painful to experience, can be a helpful emotion. The pain of regret can result in refocusing and taking corrective action or pursuing a new path. However, the less opportunity one has to change the situation, the more likely it is that regret can turn into rumination and trigger chronic stress that damages mind and body.
Can Regret Have Long-Term Effects on Well-Being?
Regret can have damaging effects on mind and body when it turns into fruitless rumination and self-blame that keeps people from re-engaging with life. This pattern of repetitive, negative, self-focused ruminative thinking is characteristic of depression—and may be a cause of this mental health problem as well.

Regret has been a tough nut to crack for me, because I am all too aware of the carnage my actions in the past have left in their wake. "Cats in the cradle" is a chilling reminder of how I wasn't always there for my wife and kids.

SGT Steve McFarland - I do understand that and somehow have to accept it and live with it if it cannot be changed. I do try to have hope...

They brought up honest and heart felt words. Very Strong men with the Courage to discuss ‘feelings’ even if it includes ‘monkeys’ and ‘gorillas’ . At least They have the Courage to discuss this topic.SSgt Marian Mitchell
