But does this not mean one has to be saved once? To be pulled out of the water and have the "learned hopefulness?"
If one feels helpless, like the first group of rats, and can't think of a point in their life where they were saved, does this not mean they'll keep up with their "learned helplessness?"
I'm asking for a friend and I'd love to share this with the person when you respond.
Your friend might benefit from reading into Adlerian Psychology. It's obviously a deeper conversation that we can deconstruct here, but the basic idea as it relates to your question is that we've all been "saved" by others due to the necessity of community — even community we don't see or acknowledge — to even do something as simple as go about our day-to-day lives.

Hmmm, thanks for the response. I'll share this with her, and be willing to indulge if she wants to go deeper into a conversation...
