Procrastination, toxic relationships, running late, not paying our bills, staring arguments - these are just a few of the ways adult children of alcoholic and dysfunctional family manifest chaos in their lives.

In today’s episode, we discuss ACA Laundry List Trait 8 - “we became addicted to excitement” and how growing up in a dysfunctional family oriented our nervous system towards fear and excitement in adulthood.

Dr. Scott Lyons (@DrScottLyons) is a holistic psychologist, educator, a renowned body-based trauma expert, and author of Addicted to Drama: Healing Dependency on Crisis and Chaos in Yourself and Others. Scott is the creator of The Embody Lab—the largest online learning platform for body-based trauma therapies—and developer of Somatic Stress Release, a holistic process of restoring biological resilience.
