If "learn to accept what you'd done" is intended to be a complete sentence, it would be more idiomatic to change it to "learn to accept what you've done". The imperative mood verb "learn" is in present tense, and for reasons of logic* more than grammar, the following active verb "'d done", a contraction of "had done", should be part of a present perfect tense, "'ve done", a contraction of "have done".

In a longer sentence, the phrase as given could be correct. For example, in reviewing a marriage counseling session, a counselor might say to one party to the marriage, "Your partner needed to learn to accept what you'd done last year as a fact that can no loner be changed and decide whether to stay with you anyway."

*The command or suggestion to "learn" something logically should include all the modifications or history about whatever the something is, rather than being restricted by using a past perfect tense to including history only up to some definite time in the past.
