Learned Helplessness & Classical Conditioning


Listen Later

Stick around the full 8 minutes for this gem 💎 
These studies on conditioning—like the Little Albert experiment and Seligman’s research on learned helplessness—illustrate how our reactions and behaviors are shaped by associations and perceptions formed through experiences. They show how neutral stimuli can become linked to fear or helplessness, impacting our responses to similar situations.
Moreover, these studies shed light on generational trauma, suggesting that the effects of such conditioning can be passed down through descendants. However, the discussion also emphasizes the power of breaking these patterns by reconnecting what needs to be connected and disconnecting what doesn’t belong, allowing us to reclaim our authenticity and agency. It’s about taking responsibility for our narratives and working towards personal transformation and empowerment.
