Are creative people less susceptible to learned helplessness?
I don’t think people are generally creative across the board or experience helplessness across the board. The question is categorised as being about PTSD. I have known people who are brilliant and creative who’ve also had PTSD and been at some point reduced to a very bad state of helplessness. I’d say if there is a link, it’s more the other way around. If you have learned helplessness in an area, that will kill your creativity in that area. Without detailed studies, it’s hard to know what the patterns and causalities really are though.
