Tristan, Have you read "Learned Optimism" by Martin Seligman? He talks about "learned helplessness" and how to overcome it.
Cheers
Hi Coach,
Wanted to thank you for this. I haven't made it too far through yet; but did make it through the "Learned Helplessness" chapter. So now I understand why I feel helpless when she is depressed. Now I am interested in finding out how the book suggests I overcome it. It has been difficult to find time to read with preparing for the move and all. But it is the book I reach for when I do find the time.
