Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I finally tried something and it only half-worked, and my whole brain went "see, nothing I do ever works"
• It went well so I assumed I did everything right and moved on
• I lost, so I’ve written the whole thing off as a failure
• I’ve got a few options on the table but I keep drifting toward whichever one scares me least instead of whichever would actually fix things
• It didn’t work out and I’m beating myself up as if a bad result automatically means I did badly

Practices that may help

1. Evaluate the outcome and adjust
   After implementing, honestly assess what worked, what didn’t, and what to do next.

3. Problem-Solving Therapy, Made Practical
   Problem-Solving Therapy (PST), developed by Nezu and D’Zurilla, treats depression and anxiety by building structured, step-by-step problem-solving skills — targeting the learned helplessness and avoidance that occur when people face stressful life problems without an effective coping framework. Multiple randomised trials support PST for depression, especially when linked to real-life problem load.
4. Review process goal execution separately from outcomes after each performance
   Evaluate how well you executed your process goals independently of whether you won or lost.

   Rate each solution on likelihood of success, personal costs, and fit with your values.

6. Review actions through the reserve clause lens
   After a disappointing outcome, ask: did I act well? If yes, the discipline is complete — the outcome is not the measure.

7. Reevaluation at the Start of Each Session
   Begin every new EMDR session by checking whether last session’s gains held — and what emerged in between.

8. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): Unsticking the Meanings That Maintain PTSD
   Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), developed by Patricia Resick, treats PTSD primarily by identifying and challenging "stuck points" — distorted or overgeneralized beliefs about safety, trust, control, intimacy, and self-worth that the trauma produced. Multiple large randomized trials show CPT is among the most effective available treatments for PTSD, comparable to Prolonged Exposure. The core concepts and some worksheets are publicly available; the full protocol benefits significantly from a CPT-trained therapist.
9. Track mastery progress, not just outcomes (accomplishment pillar)
   Measure your growth in capability over time, not only whether you hit your targets.

10. Hold realistic expectations for SSP outcomes
    SSP is a promising early-stage intervention, not a cure; knowing what it can and cannot promise prevents harm.
