“Stress begins when you lose control.” Stress expert Elke Van Hoof on learned helplessness and regaining control.
I take responsibility, but I don’t actually make any decisions. Does that sound familiar? This most likely has nothing to do with work pressure. You’ve lost control of your (work) life.
But how do you regain control over your stress? And what’s the difference between chaos and having control over your life?
In this episode of “Stress as a BFF,” stress expert Elke Van Hoof explains what environmental control is and why losing it has such a significant impact on your stress profile. She shows how you can move from chaos to control and how small, concrete steps can help you regain control.
Do you want to gradually regain control of your life? Elke explains how learned helplessness develops, how it affects your brain and body, and how to deal with it.
