Helplessness - where does it come from and why?

When a man hits a woman, a lot of people judge the woman. They say things like: why doesn’t she just leave him, this is totally stupid. But the reality is most of the times she CAN NOT, and the cause for her “immaturity” has a scientific explanation called “learned helplessness”. If a children’s parents beat them, morally abused them (humiliated them, raised them like tyrants), they got gradually used to enduring such relationship, because what other choice did they have? As a result, when the child turns into an adult and is placed in a similar environment, they “keep enduring the suffering”.Thank God, not everyone is beaten by their parents or their husbands. However, learned helplessness can manifest in many other forms! Millions of possibilities surround each and every one of us, but we don’t n otice them because we have a stagnant perception of reality. Stepping out of the comfort zone isn’t easy, but it’s very beneficial and even necessary.

How to accept the situation?

It's a nightmare when... you've been looking forward to something, and then the dream finally begins to come true, but a variety of FEARS suddenly come with it. Fears that something will go wrong, that nothing will work out. They don't let you sleep or even live... What's to be done? Take a piece of paper and a pen. For example, you're worried that your plans might go awry and you won't be able to go where you planned to go. Ask yourself the question, "What would I do if it happened?" And give a clear answer: "I would stay home." Then ask yourself, "What good changes could occur if it happened?" And answer, for example: "I would visit my sister, I promised her a long time ago." The truth is, when you give your brain alternatives and imagine possible consequences following the particular action, anxiety is reduced and it becomes easier to accept the situation.
