Episode 392 - The Dr. Cloud Show - Using Regret to Change Your Life
b'
Regrets are inevitable in this life and can bring us great sadness. Dr. Henry Cloud wants you to think differently about how you look at your regrets. When we talk about regret we\\u2019re talking about loss and the emotional pain that comes with that. What can really be helpful is letting regret show us what we don\\u2019t want to lose. The trouble is that guilt will accompany the regret and that can prevent you from mourning what you\\u2019ve lost. Dr. Cloud asks you to transform your normal reactions of guilt and badness to one of godly sorrow. When you think about what you\\u2019ll lose by not changing, real change can come forward.
