Para.1
“What is the difference between true acceptance and learned helplessness?” a reader asks, In January 2022 in my post Learned Helplessness, Brain Injury, and the Pandemic, I wrote that Maier and Seligman defined “learned helplessness” as our brain’s default state; the learned state occurs when we discover we can escape shock.
Para.2
According to the Oxford Languages Dictionary, acceptance is agreement with or belief in an idea, opinion, or explanation; also, it’s the willingness to tolerate a difficult or unpleasant situation. My reader said that in mental health recovery, clients are told to accept the past and move forward—move forward meaning learning to heal and live in a healthy way.
Para.3
As Sophie Hannah wrote in How to Hold a Grudge, “I’m sorry it happened—I wish it hadn’t—but I have benefited from the experience in the following way.” Acceptance here is acknowledging what happened without accepting helplessness, instead learning from the experience, learning that you can escape shock.
Para.4
In brain injury recovery, health care professionals encourage patients to accept both their injured state and standard medical care as the way to live with unhealed or partially healed brain injury. Standard care usually leaves neurons injured and rarely includes a comprehensive diagnostic workup, neurostimulation, and neuromodulation treatments, either at home or as first-line treatment in the clinic. Acceptance here is acknowledging what happened while embracing the default brain state of helplessness, that is, learning you cannot escape shock.
Para.5
“Definitions of acceptance converge around the idea of experiencing thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations as they are—without trying to control, avoid, or change them," writes clinical psychologist Anne P. DePrince. "That is, without fighting reality, as Marsha Linehan, DBT's developer, put it in her memoir, Building a Life Worth Living (Linehan, 2020).”
