Psychological Helplessness is a concept from the Theory of Reactance, in which the struggling and reactance of a subject melts away if the restriction is sufficiently high. Mainstream psychologists normally assume it is associated with negative feelings of depression and low performance ("Negative Helplessness"), but we observe it is experienced as a positive emotion during some aspects of BDSM, such as Bondage, and during Internal Enslavement ("Positive Helplessness".) A positive response to living in Helplessness is the defining characteristic of the natural slave. Essay: " Reactance to Enslavement"
