How can someone overcome a strong aversion to unwanted help?

People can start to overcome an aversion to unwanted help by accepting, and even asking for, a little bit of help with small things. Then, over time, increasing the amount of help they accept. They can remain in charge of the situation or project they receive help on so they will feel they are doing most of it themselves. Over time this can help the person to realize that help is not bad and they can still do things and be in control even with help.
