If you’ve ever wondered “Am I the drama?” or always find yourself as the receiver for other people’s problems, this episode is for you. We are joined by psychologist and author Dr. Scott Lyons to talk about what drama addiction is (and what it isn’t), the different types of personalities with this addiction, identifying it in yourself or someone else, how it can affect your health, and how to break the patterns and find peace. We also discuss the difference between trauma bonding and drama bonding, why gossiping feels so good, and the art of “fuck it.” Before Scott joins us, we’re recapping our Jackson Hole trip, why we stayed in separate hotels, and Rayna’s horseback riding experience. AND we’re announcing the themes of all our tour dates! Enjoy!

Find Scott on instagram @drscottlyons, listen to his podcast The Gently Used Human, read his book Addicted to Drama, and check out his website.
