Früher nannte man mich Drama Queen. Weil ich manchmal vollkommen überzogen reagierte. Weil mitunter Kleinigkeiten dazu führten, dass meine Gefühlswelt im Ausnahmezustand war. Weil ich das nicht kontrollieren konnte, so sehr ich es auch versuchte. Ich habe das geglaubt. Und mich dafür verurteilt, geschämt und sogar gehasst. Weil ich unfähig war, normal zu reagieren. Weil ich glaubte, unfähig zu sein, normal zu sein. Mit Anfang vierzig kam der Crash. Diagnose: kPTBS. Seitdem habe ich viel gelernt. Über das Störungsbild. Über mich. Über die Dinge, die mir helfen.

In this groundbreaking book, clinical psychologist and mind-body expert Dr. Scott Lyons turns the notion of the “drama queen” on its head, showing that drama is actually an addiction and those who are suffering with it are experiencing a much deeper psychological, biological, and social pain. Rather than dismiss addiction to drama as just attention-seeking, Dr. Lyons offers clear-eyed empathy, humor, and practical strategies to help us all understand and break free of the drama cycle.
