Dr. Scott Lyons is a licensed clinical psychologist, osteopath, and visionary in the field of mind-body medicine who has dedicated his life to helping people find safety in their bodies, clarity in their emotions, and peace in their nervous systems. Dr. Lyons is the author of Addicted to Drama, a deeply transformative book that explores how unresolved trauma can masquerade as intensity, performance, and chaos; and what it takes to truly come home to yourself. Dr. Lyon’s work is where science meets soul and what distinguishes him is his ability to show up fully human and create spaces where complexity is welcomed, vulnerability is honored, and truth has room to breathe. Through decades of clinical practice, teaching, and deep personal inquiry, he’s illuminated how the body remembers what the mind forgets and how healing happens when we stop performing and start listening to the parts of us that were never meant to carry so much. Dr. Lyons is the founder of The Embody Lab, the world’s leading platform for embodied education, and host of The Gently Used Human podcast, where he invites some of the most respected voices in the world of healing to explore the messy, beautiful truth; of being alive. Dr. Lyons’ accolades and credentials aren’t what make him a leader, it’s how he shows up: fully human, fiercely compassionate, and endlessly curious. In a culture quick to pathologize pain or glorify dysfunction, Dr. Lyons reminds us drama isn’t identity, chaos isn’t character, and regulation is a right; not a reward… His work is an invitation to feel, to soften, and to remember that peace isn’t the absence of problems - it’s the presence of you.

Life can be hard at times and if you’re like me, you may tend to think that you can handle it all on your own. Maybe you’ve done such a good job of “managing for so long” having to do something different or talk to someone can feel uncomfortable. The idea of therapy, to me, felt like I had to admit that there was something wrong with me or that I’d be showing the world that I was broken or didn't have it all together… but when my health started to suffer, and I was anxious 24/7… I realized my body was trying to tell me something was wrong and I learned that there is no “good health” without mental health. Therapy was the answer for me, it helped me put down all of the heavy things that I was carrying that didn’t belong to me.
