Learned helplessness quietly shapes every aspect of our lives. People develop limiting beliefs that keep them feeling stuck in a loop of failures, often leading to resignation or a victim mentality. This episode’s central idea is to connect learned helplessness to tamas and explain how it can be mistaken for acceptance or passivity. But learned helplessness can be unlearned, tune in to know how.
