For a person addicted to drama, the intensity becomes their way of coping. Their life is a constant cycle of crisis, chaos, and chronically high levels of stress. They may never be able to relax without an internal alarm going off, sending them spiraling back toward chaos. Drama is the stirring, the excitement, the exaggeration, the eruption, the unrest, and the medicine to feel alive in relation to the numbing of the internal and external world around them. For a person addicted to drama, the drama is often how they survive--or think they do. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With studies, primary research, and patient stories, Dr. Lyons deconstructs this little-understood addiction, sharing: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e what drama addiction is and what it is not \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e how to identify patterns of drama addiction in yourself and others \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the somatic effects of drama addiction, including chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, joint and muscle pains, and other conditions \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the origins of drama addiction-- and how we are heading towards a global pandemic of a dependency on crisis and chaos \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e accessible exercises for recovery and healing \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Rather than dismiss addiction to drama as just attention-seeking, Dr. Lyons offers clear-eyed empathy, humor, and practical strategies to help us all understand and break free of the drama cycle. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Scott Lyons\u003c\/b\u003e is a licensed holistic psychologist, educator and author.
