“If Only . . .” — Healing the Pain and Grief of Regret
Regret can keep clients chained to a painful past.
It can lead clients to fixate on past mistakes and constantly lament the “what-ifs” of the path not taken. It can keep them trapped in a belief that if only they could go back and have even just one “do-over,” their whole life would be different.
What’s more, when regret becomes chronic, it can keep clients locked in vicious cycles of shame, guilt, self-blame, and self-loathing.
So how do we help when a client is so fixated on “what might have been” that they’re sabotaging what IS (as well as what’s yet to come)?
We asked 21 of the top experts in the field to share practical, effective strategies that can help clients turn their regret into a catalyst for deep change. This is the result . . .

. . . I feel so fortunate to have this access to brain power, experience and research synthesis . . .
“When I listen to the experts talk openly about their experience, I feel so fortunate to have this access to brain power, experience and research synthesis on cutting edge issues! I go back to the videos to reinforce things that will assist my clients.”
Mary Logan, Counselor
Ipswich, MA
I benefit, my practice benefits, and most important my clients benefit . . .
“I live in Nova Scotia and have limited travel funds at the university at which I work. The series provided by NICABM gives me the rare opportunity to listen to the leaders in the field. As a result, I learn valuable information that would not otherwise be available to me. I benefit, my practice benefits, and most important my clients benefit from the knowledge and wisdom I gain from the series.”
David Mensink, PhD Counseling Psychology, Psychologist
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
. . . some dare to go the extra journey to research and educate
“These NICABM series keep me afloat, in touch, on track, well trained in my field, and more personally healthy. The best aspect, though, is that I feel validated and comforted knowing that some dare to go the extra journey to research and educate, so I can walk the path to health, and can share with others.”
Mary Corsello-Vilcheck, LCSW

Why the Transcript Is Essential:
- The transcript makes it easy to go back and double check concepts, citations and names that are mentioned
- We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the webinar you need
- Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
- Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
- You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients
“I really liked being able to follow along with the transcripts as I listened…it was nice not to feel like I had to take notes. I really feel like I remember more when I both hear and see at the same time.”
Mary Ellen McNaughton, Masters in Counseling, Psychology Counselor
Kelowna, British Colombia, Canada
