Have you ever looked back at your past and thought – I wish I hadn’t done that?

Have you ever looked back at your past and thought – I wish I hadn’t done that? Dr Shefali speaks to listener Richard who is troubled by the way he acted as a young man.

Looking back over a long life can provide cause for regret. Incidents from decades past, seemingly forgotten, can suddenly provoke deep sadness. Richard in Malaysia is troubled by the way he acted as a young man. Writer and therapist Dr Shefali offers him guidance on accepting his flaws and living more in the present moment. 

Presented by the BBC’s Sana Safi. 

Produced by Ruth Edwards and Charlie Taylor
