Why are we drawn to drama and things we can't control?

Does this happen to you and then you wonder, “Why does drama keep showing up in my life?”
 

Maybe it’s the family group chat that always explodes before a holiday, or the work project that somehow turns into a soap opera.

Whether you’re the reluctant star or a background extra, drama has a way of pulling us in. But what if there’s more to our attraction to drama than meets the eye?

Let’s dive into the deeper reasons behind our magnetic pull to drama—from brain science to soul contracts—and discover how you can break the cycle for good.
 

A Little About Me

I’m Anne Marie Pizarro, founder of Body Energy Connection, Akashic Records Guide, and a lifelong student of both science and spirit. After 15+ years in holistic practice and two decades as a registered nurse, I’ve seen drama play out in every arena—from the ER to the energetic field. My mission is to help you move from chaos to clarity, so you can live your soul’s highest purpose (with fewer plot twists).
 

Drama: The Signal, Not the Problem

Let’s get honest: drama isn’t just background noise.

It’s a signal that something deeper is missing—real connection, excitement, or even a sense of meaning.

When life feels a little empty or routine, drama can swoop in and fill the gap, giving us a rush of adrenaline and a sense of purpose… at least for a moment. But like eating chips for dinner, it never truly satisfies.
 

The Brain Science of Drama Addiction

Why do we get hooked? Neuroscience gives us a clue.

Every time we get swept up in drama, our brains release a hit of dopamine—the same “feel-good” chemical triggered by social media notifications, sugar, or winning a prize.

If your nervous system grew up in chaos, your brain might even see drama as familiar or safe. It becomes a default setting, a shortcut to feeling alive or important, even if it leaves you drained afterward.
 

What the Akashic Records Reveal About Drama

From a soul perspective, the Akashic Records suggest that drama is rarely random. Often, is tied to old contracts, past-life patterns, or ancestral wounds where conflict meant connection and peace felt unfamiliar—even risky. We’re drawn to drama not because we love chaos, but because our souls are seeking growth, healing, and a chance to rewrite the script. Drama is a mirror, reflecting where we’re still learning to choose peace over old patterns.
 

A Mental Shift: How to Step Out of the Drama Cycle

So what can you do when you feel the drama wave rolling in?

Here’s a powerful mental shift: Instead of asking, “Why is this happening to me?” try asking, “What is this showing me about my boundaries, my needs, or my patterns?”

Curiosity is your superpower. When you pause and get curious, you reclaim your energy and stop letting drama dictate your day.

Remember: Peace isn’t boring—it’s powerful.
