“If only I’d made a different choice.”
“I should’ve known better.”
“Why did I stay so long?”
“Why didn’t I say something when I had the chance?”
The 4 Regrets we carry
The 4 ReSets that help you rebuild
A set of simple, embodied practices you can start using today
You’ll get a full, honest walkthrough of regret and rebuilding, including:
0:00 – Introduction: The 4 Regrets & 4 Resets
We break down the four regrets identified by Daniel Pink in The Power of Regret:
Foundational Regret – “If only…”
Boldness Regret – “I should’ve…”
Moral Regret – “I knew better…”
Connection Regret – “Too much or too little…”
And you’ll meet the four Trudge ReSets designed to help you respond differently.
4:07 – Mind/Body Reset – When Your Nervous System Won’t Let Go
Why you can’t just “think positive” when your body is still bracing for impact.
You’ll learn how to:
Understand regret as a nervous system experience, not just a thought
Use the 4 Ps (Permission, Presence, Protection, Peace) to create internal safety
Practice a simple grounding breath to help your system feel safe enough to heal
9:36 – Skill Reset – You Weren’t Broken, You Were Untrained
We explore how many regrets come from missing skills—not missing worth.
You’ll learn:
Why “I should’ve known better” is often just “No one showed me how”
How to shift from shame into skill-building and self-trust
The Skill Inventory Reframe practice:
What I regret → What skill I was missing → What I’m willing to learn now
14:21 – Opportunity Reset – You’re Not the Problem, the Room Is
You might be growing—just not in soil that can support you.
You’ll learn:
How to spot environments that tolerate you versus those that celebrate you
Why your healing isn’t just about effort, but environment
The Environment Audit:
Celebrate / Tolerate / Deplete
One shift that moves you closer to being truly seen
18:23 – Ultimate Reset – Choosing Again Without Erasing Your Story
You don’t need a do-over. You need a different way forward.
You’ll learn:
How to live a full life even with disappointment in your bones
Why resetting isn’t pretending it didn’t hurt—it’s refusing to let hurt be the whole story
The Power of the Redo Visualization:
Mentally rehearsing a healthier choice
Training your brain and body to believe, “I can choose again.”
22:23 – Closing Remarks – The Power of Rebuilding
We end with:
The reminder that rebuilding isn’t reinventing—it’s returning to who you’ve always been underneath the regret
The Daily Mirror Question to guide your mornings:
“What does the better or best version of me look, sound, and feel like today?
What do I need to forgive myself for… so I can rebuild with care and consideration, not regret or shame?”
To help you integrate what you’re learning, I’ve created a printable + fillable workbook that walks alongside the video.

I’m Ken Caselden, LPCC — “The Trudge Therapist”
I’m a licensed psychotherapist gone rogue, coach, writer, and creator of The Trudge Paradox —
a framework for rebuilding after life’s unexpected events such as betrayal, loss, burnout, and identity collapse.
I’ve lived through all four of these regrets personally.
I’ve walked through divorce, burnout, self-abandonment, and seasons where I genuinely didn’t know who I was anymore…or if life was worth pursuing anymore.
I don’t teach this from a pedestal.
I teach it from the mud—from the slow, honest work of learning to:
✔ Listen differently
✔ Meet myself where I actually am
✔ Move at the pace of guidance
✔ And trust that my life isn’t over just because it didn’t go as planned
If that resonates with you, you’re in the right place!
