This book adddresses crippling effects of regrets about the past. Many situations are presented and tcechniques for change. Coming to terms with past failures and other disabling events requires action to "unblock" the past and to gain perspective. Practical exercises and programs to promote forward thinking and peace of mind are included in thisvery useful book.
We have all made mistakes or had unfortunate things happen to us. Some of us let these negative events so overwhelm us that we cannot build our futures. This book can help you over come past mistakes controlling you today by correcting wrong thinking that includes overgeneralization (because I picked the wrong spouse, I will always make the wrong choice) and perfectionism (because my work was not perfect I am disgraced). It is not easy to break out of these patterns of wrong thinking, but this book offers simple and effective ways to do so. Easy to read and apply.
