77 - Feeling Helpless and Hopeless? How to deal with Learned Helplessness through somatic healing so you can feel optimistic again (yes, really).
Manage episode 471570306 series 3287706
Does your internal monologue ever sound like, "I'll never get better," "I'll never have the life I want," "I'll never fall in love"? Then this one's for you, baby! Learned helplessness is when we learn (often in abusive households growing up) that we don't have any control over the harm being done to us, so we just stop trying. We basically learn to be helpless. In this episode, somatic marriage and family therapist Katrina Foster joins me to talk through how learned helplessness impacts our lives and how we heal from the bottom up.
