Research indicates that depressed individuals tend to perceive negative 
outcomes as more predictable and inevitable in hindsight, while also 
distorting their memory of initial expectations to be more negative than they 
were. Additionally, due to their inclination towards rumination, individuals 
with depression are more susceptible to getting entangled in hindsight bias 
when reflecting on regretful decisions or actions. This perpetuates feelings 
of shame and regret. To address this, the tool encourages clients to 
retrospectively examine a past decision, understanding the factors that 
influenced it, and then contemplate how they would have acted differently if 
they could revisit that moment.

By engaging in this exercise, individuals can gain insight into the cognitive 
processes underlying their regrets and explore alternative courses of action. 
It enables them to challenge distorted perceptions, reduce self-blame, and 
develop a more balanced perspective on past decisions. This tool serves as a 
valuable resource for clients to explore the interplay between hindsight bias, 
regret, and depressive symptoms, ultimately promoting self-reflection, 
growth, and improved decision-making
