Definition: Ex post is a Latin term that means "from after." It refers to something that is based on knowledge and facts that are viewed after the fact, in hindsight. It is objective and retrospective, meaning it looks back at something that has already happened.

  • After the company went bankrupt, an ex post analysis showed that their spending habits were unsustainable.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
