Learned Helplessness: How We’re Trained to Stay Powerless (and How to Wake Up)
Manage episode 498218273 series 3670643
In this episode of The Infinite Spark of Being, we explore the psychological phenomenon of learned helplessness—how it’s installed, how it shows up in your life, and most importantly, how to break free.
We unpack the original experiment by Dr. Martin Seligman, explore how systems like school, work, media, and even some spiritual paths condition us to give up our agency, and offer actionable steps to reclaim your inner power.
Whether you're stuck in a loop of defeat or simply tired of feeling small, this episode will help you remember: you are not powerless.
