Reenactments: Break the Behavior Patterns That Keep You Stuck in Trauma, Stress, and Everyday Life

**Today’s guest is Dr. Tony Iezzi — a clinical psychologist with more than 35 years on the front lines of trauma, chronic pain, and the behavior loops that keep people repeating the past. He’s the co‑author of *Reenactments: Break the Behavior Patterns That Keep You Stuck in Trauma, Stress, and Everyday Life*, a book that blends science, clinical clarity, and real‑world insight into why we do what we do — even when we don’t want to.**

In this conversation, Dr. Iezzi breaks down the unconscious reenactment patterns that show up in everyday life: the habits we repeat, the reactions that feel too big for the moment, and the emotional echoes that follow us from childhood into boardrooms, relationships, and Tuesday afternoons.

If you’ve ever wondered why you keep ending up in the same situations — or why certain moments hit harder than they should — this episode gives you the framework to finally understand it.

**Dr. Tony Iezzi doesn’t just explain trauma. He explains the architecture underneath it — and how to break the loop.**

Profile picture for Robert Adleman

Robert Adleman

I am a 64-year-old male with ADHD, OCD, severe depression, severe  anxiety, and dyslexia. I struggled for 40 years working in the high-pressured Information technology field. Even though it was good money, I didn't have much luck in the financial department.
In 1991, at the age of 33, was when the severe anxiety attack occurred, and the support system was not there to handle it. So, I checked myself in to a mental hospital in Piscataway, NJ. That started my long road to recovery. After the attack, I was severely depressed and anxious for 6 months. This experience is detailed in episode four "Beating Severe Anxiety/Depression".
