Dealing with rational guilt/shame

This comes under emotional regulation skills.  I had to use this today.

REPAIR
– Apologise
– Do something to make up for the damage – do something to show you are genuinely sorry

COMMIT to not making the same mistake again

ACCEPT the consequences gracefully

LET IT GO
– it is done, it cannot be undone, and you have done what you can to rectify things
