Regret & Reset

Turn “What If” Into Your Next Beginning

A free Trudge masterclass to help you transform regret into rebuilding—without toxic positivity, spiritual bypassing, or pretending you’re “over it.”

🎥 WHAT THIS MASTERCLASS IS ABOUT

What If Your Regret Wasn’t a Sentence—But a Signal?

If you’ve ever laid awake replaying the same scenes…

“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?”

…you’re not alone.

In this free long-form masterclass, I’ll teach you how to stop treating regret like proof that you’re broken—and start seeing it as a compass pointing toward the life you’re still allowed to build.

Drawing from Daniel Pink’s research on the 4 core regrets and the framework from my book The Trudge Paradox, we’ll walk through:

The 4 Regrets we carry

The 4 ReSets that help you rebuild

A set of simple, embodied practices you can start using today

This isn’t about erasing your story.

It’s about reclaiming it!

Inside the “Regret & Reset” Masterclass:

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?”

A Companion Workbook:

To help you integrate what you’re learning, I’ve created a printable + fillable workbook that walks alongside the video.

About Ken:

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!

This is for YOU if:

👉 You’re haunted by “what ifs,” even if your life looks “fine” from the outside

👉 You’re tired of being told to “just move on”

👉 You’ve tried therapy, mindset work, or spiritual advice that left your body still in survival

👉 You want realistic, compassionate tools—not quick fixes or shame-based motivation

👉 You’re ready to rebuild a life that feels like your own, one honest step at a time
