Learned helplessness is a psychological concept that refers to a belief that one is unable to control or change their environment or circumstances, even when such change is possible. This belief often arises as a result of previous experiences where the individual faced situations that they perceived to be beyond their control, leading them to give up trying to make changes in the future. Over time, this learned helplessness can lead to hopelessness and depression and interfere with an individual's ability to pursue their goals or achieve their full potential. However, learned helplessness can be overcome through various therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioural therapy and positive psychology interventions, which help individuals to reframe their beliefs and develop more adaptive coping strategies.
