Ep116 Overcoming Learned Helplessnes

Burnout Recovery

Send us a Text Message.

Are your feeling burned out and stuck because of learned helplessness? It can happen to anyone!
In a burnout context, Learned Helplessness can simply be an old pattern of thinking amenable to gentle self-supporting change. e.g. for me, around academic success.
Overcoming it will help you regain control of your life. Becoming curious about where and why you feel helpless can help you see through its false ideas and find ways to support yourself, become stronger, and feel better overall.
N.B. If your experience is trauma-related, please instead seek medical/therapeutic help.
