Order your copy of The Let Them Theory 👉 👈 The #1 Best Selling Book of 2025 🔥 Discover how much power you truly have. It all begins with two simple words. Let Them.

I was talking sh*t about my daughter and got caught red-handed. Talk about unnecessary drama.

We've all been there. And according to today’s expert, this type of conflict is causing more #stress than you think.

Today, I am joined by Dr. Scott Lyons, @drscottlyons, a medical doctor, holistic psychologist, and renowned body-based trauma expert. He says there are 6 telltale signs that you’re #addicted to stress.

I never considered myself to be a person who is addicted to stress until this conversation.

Dr. Lyons is certified in more healing modalities than you want me to list and has even created his own body-based trauma therapy called Somatic Stress Release™, taught in over 20 countries.

You and I are digging into the fascinating science, research, and psychology of stress. And more importantly, you are going to get the tools you need to remove it from your life.

Dr. Lyons will explain why we keep ourselves on edge, why we find ourselves picking fights, #gossiping, zombie scrolling, and staying in relationships where #drama is present.

This is a cycle you need to break. It’s time you slow down and learn:

- The shocking ways you are addicted to stress

- How to deal with drama-addicted friends and significant others

- What zombie scrolling, zoning out in front of the TV, and always being on the go say about you

- What it means when you always need to be the center of attention

- What “revving” is and why you need to stop doing it today

- The 3 ways to break free from a stress addiction

If you’ve read this far, it means you want to feel less stress. I want that for you, too.

That’s why I can’t wait for you to listen and learn how to remove all the unnecessary drama from your life.
