This is the final part of a four-part series on how to root out the pattern called “learned helplessness” from our life and relationships. In part 1 and part 2, we explored what learned helplessness is, and what it might look like in our lives. In part 3, we shared the first two (of six) steps for ridding it from our lives. This week, we cover the last four steps.
After examining the concept of “learned helplessness” in part 1 and part 2 of this series, and beginning to address it with action in part 3, I hope that you have a sense for how to spot it in your life. If you haven’t read the series, I highly recommend backtracking. See especially the bullet list that opens part 1 for examples of what we’re talking about.
Let’s dive into the last few action steps we can take to tackle learned helplessness once we see it.
