AB -  In this reflexive thematic analysis, we explore 17 psychotherapists’ accounts of work-related regrets. Based on individual interviews with experienced clinical psychologists, we report how they describe these regrets as emotionally intense experiences with potential for development. To communicate how participants view work-related regrets to impact on their clinical practice, we formulated an overarching theme called “holding on to regret as a kind of enrichment.” Three subthemes summarize different aspects of this process: (a) increased awareness; (b) working to accept and model fallibility; and (c) the process of making changes based on regret experiences. We discuss our findings in relation to theory and research, and explore methodological strengths and limitations.
