NICABM – Treating An Addiction To Drama As A Trauma Response

Does your client seem to thrive on chaos?

It may be an underrecognized trauma response

Do you have a client who only seems to perk up when there’s bad news? Or who comes to each session embroiled in a new crisis? Perhaps they’ve said that they “thrive on chaos.”
If this sounds familiar, it’s possible your client is struggling with an underrecognized trauma response.

You see, trauma can dampen a person’s sense of aliveness. So for some clients, the only time they feel fully alive is when the intensity and drama of their world is ratcheted up.

This can be addictive – and over time, the constant intensity can overwhelm the nervous system, wreak havoc on a client’s relationships, and spiral into anxiety or depression.

So to help you recognize and work with this trauma response, we put together a brand-new workshop on . . .

What You’ll Learn In Treating an Addiction to Drama as a Trauma Response

In this workshop, Scott Lyons, PhD will share how to identify when this dynamic is at play and work with clients who are consumed by an urge to seek out, create, or escalate drama.

Here’s the agenda:

• How the brain learns to connect with others through stress
• The four phases of the drama cycle (and how it’s different from the stress cycle)
• Key signs that your client has an addiction to drama
• How it feels for your client when they’re addicted to drama
• The specific relational patterns that can signal an addiction to drama
• Strategies to help clients reduce their urge for drama and intensity
