Hello!

Do you have any encouragement/advice for someone struggling with learned helplessness?

Everyday I feel like more of a burden, but every choice I could make to improve my life makes me freeze up. Coming to terms with the shame of it even taking me this long to realize that I’m able to make choices for myself; along with the vitriol people have for anyone that takes time to learn something or reach certain milestones.

I feel stuck.

You're already making progress by recognizing that your stuck feelings are coming from learned helplessness. Learned helplessness is not your fault. It's a conditioned response.

Start with self-compassion. When you're feeling hard on yourself or feeling that shame creep up, try to extend yourself the same compassion that you would give to a friend in the same situation. Most people are much harder on themselves than they are on their friends. It takes practice to be compassionate with yourself.

Set small, achievable goals to help build your confidence. This doesn't have to be in the same area where you are struggling. You just need practice making choices and feeling successful.

Celebrate your achievements, even small ones. This will help reinforce the feeling that you are capable and in control. When shame and doubt about the timeline of your achievements comes up, remember to use self-compassion and to think of the achievements you've been building up.
