Healing an Addiction to Drama, feat. Dr. Scott Lyons (Enneagram 4)

Whether we're watching it play out on social media or experiencing it in our relationships and workplaces, all of us know someone who is addicted to drama.  But how do you recognize a drama addiction in yourself or others?  And once you recognize it, how do you break the cycle and live more peacefully? Today on Typology, clinical psychologist Scott Lyons, Ph.D., reveals how he learned to navigate generations of trauma and identifies what a drama addiction is.   "Like all addictions, it is looking at how do we fill the void? How do we prevent further pain? How do we fill the void? And when you have a void, you don't exist. There isn't a sense of existence on this plane.  So you fill it with things that give you a sense of aliveness or purpose," explains Dr. Lyons.  Tune in to hear his advice on how to break free from the damaging effects of living lives consumed by chaos.  Follow @typologypodcast on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.  -- ABOUT SCOTT LYONS, Ph.D. Dr. Scott Lyons is a holistic psychologist and educator.
