Adverse Childhood Events have been shown to cost society $1.8 Million per 2014 victim (during their lifetime). The cost of emotional pain is incalculable throughout the entire lifespan to not only the child (who becomes an adult) but all of the people they encounter. A common reaction of the child, which can follow through adulthood, is Learned Helplessness. Helping Professionals seek to empower others to fulfill their dreams. However, Learned Helplessness is a profound barrier for many (clients and professionals). This model teaches how viewing the world from a Learned Helplessness perspective presents unique ways of viewing goals. Helping Professionals assume they are talking the same language as clients when they develop goals together. This model shows that folks, who struggle with Learned Helplessness, are actually thinking about goals from a completely different paradigm than the professional Understanding and resolving this miscommunication through the SHOCKS NO MORE Model offers relevant and immediate solutions.
