Episode notes
We tend to use painful counterfactuals more often than nicer counterfactuals, showing a bias toward negativity. However, this bias may have a benefit or be adaptive. Becoming happier doesn't mean ignoring negative if-onlys. Negative emotions serve a purpose and can provide valuable information to help us live better.
