The Real Reason People Can't Leave Toxic Relationships It's In Your Brain

You've seen it happen. That friend who keeps going back. That family member stuck in a toxic situation. And everyone asks the same question: "Why don't they just leave?" The answer isn't weakness. It's not stupidity. It's psychology. In 1967, a psychologist named Martin Seligman ran an experiment that accidentally revealed one of the darkest truths about human behavior. What he discovered explains why intelligent, capable people become trapped in situations that are destroying them—and why telling them to "just leave" actually makes it worse. This is learned helplessness. And once you understand how it works, you'll never look at toxic relationships, abusive situations, or people who seem "stuck" the same way again. In this video, I break down: • The shocking 1967 experiment that discovered learned helplessness • How your brain gets rewired to believe escape is impossible • The psychological tactics abusers use to create the trap • Why "just leave" is terrible advice (and what actually helps) • The neuroscience behind why smart people stay • How to recognize learned helplessness in yourself or others • Real strategies for breaking free from the cycle This isn't just about romantic relationships. Learned helplessness shows up in toxic jobs, dysfunctional families, systemic oppression, and anywhere people feel powerless to change their circumstances. If you've ever wondered why someone stays in a bad situation, or if you've ever felt stuck yourself, this video will change how you see everything. 🚨 IMPORTANT RESOURCES: National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233 (24/7, free, confidential) National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 988 Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741 -- 📊 SOURCES & FURTHER READING: • Seligman, M.E.P.
