51. Austra Putnina – Overcoming Learned Helplessness: Strategies for Regaining Control

In this episode, we are joined by Austra Putnina and together we explore the learned helplessness – a psychological state where repeated experiences of powerlessness lead to a belief that one’s actions have no meaningful impact on outcomes.

Topics Covered:

• Understanding Learned Helplessness: We discuss what learned helplessness means and how it manifests in our lives, affecting our behaviors and mental health.
• The Impact of Repetition: Learn about the role repeated negative experiences play in reinforcing feelings of powerlessness.
• Overcoming Helplessness: We share strategies and tips for breaking the cycle of helplessness and regaining a sense of control in your life.
• The Role of Self-Awareness: Learn the importance of recognizing your emotional states and understanding how your past shapes your present behaviors.
• Practical Steps to Change: Get insights on how small actions and mindset shifts can create significant changes in overcoming learned helplessness and bring your power back.
• Seeking Inspiration: We share the importance of learning from others who have successfully navigated similar challenges to “unlearn” the learned helplessness.

Remember, the journey to overcoming feelings of helplessness is a personal one and requires patience, self-compassion, and perseverance. Each small step forward is a victory in reclaiming the narrative of your life and taking back control.

Join us in this in-depth conversation as we delve into the nuances of learned helplessness and discover the tools to empower ourselves. Every step toward healing is a step toward a fuller, freer life.

Tune in now and begin the journey to break free from the shackles of helplessness!
