Regret correction therapy - let's turn Montreal into a world capital for treatment

    Montreal could get back on the world map by providing infrastructure that would be unique to the planet. 

    I'm talking about a vast facility where one could re-enact and correct one's moments of regrets with role play involving other individuals, or CGI, or even robots.

   Many believe that regret is a fairly benign thing that actually helps us by teaching us wisdom, but another school of thought - mine - suggests that our collections of regret deeply scar our lives and burden us unnecessarily as they fester and linger, with our feelings of past guilt, frustration and shame hindering us from finding peace.  

   I would argue that any suffer undiagnosed PTRD Post Traumatic Regret Disorder. 

   Earlier generations were in denial about their regret, clinging on to a I don't regret a thing ethos. But je ne regrette rien  has died off and people are more comfortable to air our their regrets now. 

    Sadly, they are still not doing anything to address those regrets. 

   The large-sized Montreal-based facility would offer all sorts of scenarios of re-enactments which could be customized to the specific realities of those involved. 

   At the Montreal Regret Correction Therapy Centre you could tell a likeness of your murdered aunt that you don't think that she should go to the Tuscaloosa knife festival, or explain to the principal why it's illogical to suspend you one day before the grad ceremony, or whatever it is you want to do to heal your psychic pain.

   The centre would also offer regret prevention therapy to younger folks, who would be told of the value of spending time with their kids, or standing up to bullies and so forth, all of which would help them avoid getting stomped on by life.

   Not all of it the goings-on at the facility have to be about misery

   One common regret is that they didn't have much fun or romance earlier in life, so there could be a party element incorporated into the proceedings. 

1.     Montreal could turn regret correction therapy into a multi-billion dollar business that could turn our tourism deficit back into the black and also help countless people deal with their PTRD symptoms.
