Episode description

Do you ever find yourself in a toxic situation but do nothing to change it? In part 2, Dr Mark Rackley explains the phenomenon of ‘learned helplessness’ and how to overcome it.


Mark and Dr Alex George discuss why we’re prone to staying in unpleasant environments (such as bad workplaces or relationships), the signs of learned helplessness and how to stop doing this as well as break the cycle.
