Regret Is Very Real

Regret is a very real reaction to a disappointing event in your life, a choice you made that can’t be changed, something you said that you can’t take back. It’s one of those feelings you can’t seem to shake, a heavy and intrusive negative emotion that can last for minutes, days, years or even a lifetime . Imaging studies reveal that feelings of regret show increased activity  in an area of the brain called the medial orbitofrontal cortex.
