If you've lived through a divorce, or you're going through one now, you know that ending a marriage comes with a lot of regrets. You might regret not trying harder to save your marriage when you had the chance, or, if the divorce was your choice, you might have difficult moments when you regret your decision. You might even regret marrying your Ex in the first place! Whatever flavor of divorce regret you're experiencing, this episode is for you. I'm talking about how you can not only cope with regret after divorce, but how you can use it to start a positive new chapter in your life. You'll learn: 03:04 The Purpose of Regret in Healing after a Breakup or Divorce 10:10 Regret's and Its Relationship to Grief 11:07 Shifting Your Perspective on Mistakes and Regret 12:21 Learning from Regret to Build Healthier Relationships 13:47 Differentiating Healthy Regret from Shame 16:43 Exploring Regret through Journaling and Therapy 22:19 Creating a Constructive Narrative that Helps You Grow 24:04 Using Regret as a Catalyst for Change All of that and more on today's episode. I hope you find this conversation helpful and healing, and that it gives you hope for all the positive things that are still ahead of you. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby P.S. — Want support in healing after a breakup or divorce?
