About this episode
In the first part of this 2 part topic, Amber and Ryan explore the themes of learned helplessness, the impact of social media on mental health, and the importance of community and communication.
They discuss how societal and political factors contribute to feelings of powerlessness and examine the cognitive distortions that can perpetuate these feelings. The conversation also touches on the Menendez brothers as a case study in learned helplessness and emphasizes the need for optimism and self-reflection in overcoming negative thought patterns.
