Do you struggle with helping yourself deal with your issues? 
Do you find yourself repeating unhealthy behaviours?
Do you put up with situations that make you miserable?

Learned helplessness is a psychological phenomenon where we don't help ourselves to change problems in our life and stay stuck in life putting up with unhealthy situations. 

Why does learned helplessness happen and what can you do about it?
In this episode I tackle the issue of learned helplessness. 
As ever, this podcast is about hope and I talk you through ways that you can manage the issue of learned helplessness.
