Briefly

from Psychology Today3 months ago
This article discusses our tendency to resort to 'undoing' when confronted with loss, as a way to protect ourselves from emotional pain.

The desire to undo loss is driven by a protective part of ourselves that struggles against the reality of grief and loss.

Experiencing loss often leads people to fantasize about changing the past, an emotional coping mechanism that can feel both seductive and ultimately unfulfilling.
