We will learn: How our survival strategies and coping responses become embedded in the body.  The 4 stages of the drama cycle.  The physical and mental costs of drama addiction, its impact on relationships, and how to heal from it. What's your relationship to drama? Are you the drama queen in your circle, or do you claim to hate drama while finding yourself caught up in it anyway? Or do you strive to keep your own life peaceful and stay out of other people's business?The truth is, we all thrive on drama a little bit, even if we think we don't. And how can we not? From reality TV to social media, we're constantly bombarded with sensationalized stories and conflicts.And while it may seem harmless, it deregulates the nervous system, creating more stress and less peace, which can lead to mental and physical health issues.So how do we get ourselves out of this drama cycle?That's what we're talking about today. Our guest is Dr. Scott Lyons, a licensed clinical psychologist and mind-body medicine practitioner who specializes in therapies for infants, youth, and adults. He's also the author of "Addicted to Drama: Healing Dependency on Crisis and Chaos in Yourself and Others."

We will learn: How attachment to ego keeps us from experiencing love. Why we need to sit with our pain to experience love. Pathways and access points to love that don't involve other people. Did you know that nearly 50% of adults are single? You might be thinking, yeah, so what... more people are realizing they don't need a partner to find happiness. But there have been quite a few studies and surveys on this that show that anywhere from 65-80% of singles are actively looking for a relationship.So why is it so hard? Is the dating pool just that bad? If all these people are looking for a partner, why is it that so many can't seem to find a match?As Dr. Joe Dispenza says, "If you want to find your dream partner, write down all their qualities, and become them."So if we want more love in our lives, we have to start loving more first.

We will learn: The surprising clinical evidence for how spirituality protects our mental health. How our own states of mental health pass down to our children and how spirituality is 29% inheritable. What factors create the spiritual connection necessary to physically alter our brains. Have you ever felt a deep sense of inner peace after meditating, or felt a rush of euphoria during a spiritual experience? Isn't it interesting how something as intangible as spirituality seems to have a tangible effect on our physical selves?Well, what if I told you that recent studies in neuroscience suggest that spirituality can actually alter the composition and structure of our brains?People who have a spiritual connection have been shown to have increased gray matter density in areas of the brain associated with self-awareness and empathy. They've also been found to have altered activity in brain regions involved in stress response and addiction.In other words, spirituality actually impacts our neurobiological makeup! How incredible is that?And that's why I'm so excited about this episode today.It turns out, the changes we experience aren't just the placebo effect. We're not just convincing ourselves to be more positive, we're actually creating physical changes to our brains.

We will learn: Why being stuck is such a misunderstood phenomenon Why we fail to recognize that we are actually stuck How to align our lives and make choices that internalize our new ways of being What would it feel like if you just knew the right thing to do? If you could tap into your inner wisdom and feel guided by your own soul?Sometimes what we think is inner guidance is actually social pressure, family expectations, or perceived obligations. So how do you know the difference?It's a constant journey of self-discovery and self-improvement, and it starts with a shift in perspective and a willingness to listen to your own inner guidance.It's learning to be the observer of your own thoughts without attaching to them.
