metanoia

metanoia is a rhetorical device where one retracts a statement to correct it or express it better. Derived from the Greek for turning back to take a different path, it is primarily used in religious contexts to describe a profound transformation of heart and mind. It is seen as an inner conversion or epiphany that changes how a person perceives themselves and the world, often arising from a sense of self-dissatisfaction.
