Are you stressed out? Of course you're stressed out. We're ALL stressed out. But, did you ever consider for a moment that you may actually be addicted to stress? On this episode of UNGENTRIFIED, I am joined by Vaughn N. Gay, LPC of Holistic Atlanta (@the.atl.lpc), a Master Addiction Counselor who helped break down our addictions to stress. We discuss how stress tricks our brains into thinking it's actually pleasurable, his personal experience with stress addiction, the fear of being happy, and how to break the addiction.
