On this episode Ariel and Roger talk about breaking the cycle/pattern of learned helplessness. Learned helplessness is a condition when a person suffers from a sense of powerlessness. It comes from a traumatic event or a persistent failure to succeed. When people feel out of control over the situation, they start feeling helpless and they might overlook an opportunity for a relief or a change.

Quote of the week is by Lech Walesa: “It is hardly possible to build anything if frustration, bitterness and a mood of helplessness prevail.”
