So yeah, some are doing it wrong. I would not blame them though, but rather whatever professionals are encouraging this learned helplessness in them.

I have been in a lot of therapy and group therapy and I am in it again. I have never had a therapist take that approach with me. Some therapist go along with meds but I have never had one tell me there is nothing I can do besides that.
If you are referring to "radical acceptance" in DBT I don't think you understand the concept. You will have to enlighten me on what therapies take that approach.
