W: We brought in a person to help us understand what regrets are all about. (1) Reverend Sherri Hausser is an associate pastor at the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church in Pennsylvania. Nice to have you here.
M: Thank you.
W: We talked about this, I guess in the meeting, that everybody on the staff said we should do a segment about regrets. Why? Why is it something we need to talk about?
M: (2) Regrets are amongst the most human things we have, these amazing invitations and opportunities to grow. (3-1) So if you don’t have regrets, I mean I wouldn’t want to deal with someone who didn’t have regrets.
W: (3-2) But immediately you say regrets are positive, and most people don’t think that way. Most people think that regrets are negative.
M: (4-1) I think they have a negative attitude on regrets because we’ve been taught that regrets are a bad thing, so we repress them and have a certain amount of shame about them. (4-2) But I think they are absolutely an opportunity if we acknowledge them.
W: Basically two kinds of regrets. Wouldn’t that be fair to say most people have regrets about a personal relationship or about an opportunity and sometimes obviously those things that cross over? When is the amount of time you spend worrying about something you think about normal? And when does it become something that negatively impacts your life?
M: I think if it makes you stop functioning, then it becomes abnormal as long as the regret stays as an energy. Sometimes you have to sit with it for a long time. You sit with the regret and you try to understand. It’s never about the past. It’s a present emotion. And what it really is—it’s a yearning about something in the future; it’s something popping up and saying "Wow, I could be more, I could do something different." (5-1) It’s really about focusing on the future, even though it seems to be about the past.
W: (5-2) Sometimes it’s about the past. A woman in The Pizzaria said, "I regret not listening to my mom and getting married too young." Clearly she set some problems in the past.
