Summary

Q: How do I let go of "what if's" from my past relationships so I can move forward into future ones? We're taking all your questions on our new ASK A COUNSELOR series!! We're doing this series because I wanted to introduce you to the Counselors from the Debra Fileta Counselors Network and get to know them the way I'm getting to know them! Today's question comes from a woman who wants to know how to let go of the ruminating about the past - the what ifs. What if it would have been different? What if I said something, did something, tried something different? What if things would have worked out? The list of what ifs is never ending. So how do we deal with them? How can we be set free to move forward? Today, I tag-team this question with Anna Pavlov (BOOK A SESSION WITH Anna). Anna and I get to the root of some of the unhealthy underlying thinking that comes with what ifs, teach you how to recognize it, and then what to do about it as well as what to think INSTEAD.
