The Psychology of Your 20s podcast episode explores the concept of being addicted to chaos, particularly in one's twenties, and its psychological underpinnings. The host discusses how the brain can become wired to seek out the neurochemical rush associated with resolving crises, mistaking the relief for a reward. The episode further examines how this addiction manifests in relationships and careers, leading to drama, burnout, and avoidance of deeper issues. The host provides actionable advice on breaking free from this pattern by identifying personal chaos triggers, practicing stillness, setting boundaries, creating new pathways for dopamine hits through proactive wins, and recognizing that life will always have inevitable turmoil.
