Hello Ohlostme,

Welcome to Psych Central!

You say it is learned helplessness, but it sounds to me like you are TRYING to help yourself.......and then getting stuck at a certain point.

Sounds like you have a FEAR of actually achieving???

Have you figuared out why that is?

I think it would be worth you looking into finding another therapist. There is one out there for you somewhere, not just to listen but also to challenge you, work out why you get this block and what you can do about it.

Good Luck.
