This presentation explores how perfectionism, maximization, depressive decision styles, and emotion forecasting increase vulnerability to regret in decision-making, and reviews cognitive and behavioral interventions to reduce regret and its consequences.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify the role of maximization and depressive styles in regret

2. Describe how regret impacts procrastination, risk aversion, indecision, rumination, and self-criticism

3. Explain how to assist clients in accepting uncertainty and risk in order to make more pragmatic and effective decisions

4. Describe how to assist clients in reducing post-decision regret, self-criticism and rumination and accept trade-offs in making decisions while enhancing satisfaction with imperfect outcomes.

This is an introductory course and is designed for clinicians and supervisors. For pre and licensed clinicians including psychiatrists, psychologists, AMFT/LMFTs, APCC/LPCCs, MSW/LCSWs, RNs approved to provided psychotherapy, as well as trainees in these disciplines.
