About this listen

 In this episode of Off the Couch, host Dr. Greg and producer Bryan dive into the powerful topic of “addiction to chaos” in relationships. They explore why some people confuse emotional stability with boredom and end up chasing drama instead of peace. Dr. Greg and Bryan break down how trauma bonding and intermittent reinforcement—those highs followed by crushing lows—keep people stuck in toxic relationship cycles. They also compare healthy relationships to a gentle merry-go-round, in contrast to the emotional roller coasters many become addicted to. The conversation touches on how some individuals seek validation or attention through emotional outbursts on social media, often revealing deeper, unaddressed wounds. This eye-opening episode offers real talk about emotional self-regulation and why awareness of these patterns is the first step toward building healthier, more grounded connections.
