Learned Helplessness / Learned Optimism Pt. 1
In Part 1 of a 2 part series, Hosts discuss learned helplessness, a condition in which a person suffers from a sense of powerlessness. It can arise from traumatic events or consistent failure. Its considered an underlying cause of depression. Kevin and Niseema help untangle potential connections with pandemic fallout such as job loss and blaming oneself for being a bad employee. This usually happens very fast. Most people don't catch it until the feeling of anxiety is present. Do you attribute external events to some personal shortcoming and what is your explanatory style?

Post Traumatic Growth with Richard D. Smith Pt.1
Join us for our interview of Richard D. Smith, national speaker for the African American Community on mental health issues and intergenerational trauma.
Asking "what happened to you?" as opposed to "what's wrong with you?" is the beginning of understanding and diffusing aggressive behaviors, all of which are rooted in trauma response. When you stop and ask this question it can be an awakening to self-awareness. As a speaker, professor, community advocate and childhood trauma survivor Richard teaches us about the revolutionary act of self love.
