This worksheet is designed to help clients recognize and address feelings of learned helplessness that often accompany substance use disorders, anxiety, and depression. It encourages reflection on past experiences where they felt powerless or out of control, helping them identify the negative thought patterns that contributed to those feelings. By focusing on personal strengths, recent successes, and positive affirmations, clients are guided to change their perception of difficult situations and develop a more empowered and capable mindset. The worksheet also provides practical strategies for cultivating confidence, resourcefulness, and assertiveness, ultimately helping clients break free from the cycle of helplessness and move forward in their recovery.
