Arlina Allen's Guide to Overcoming Guilt and Shame in Recovery

Love is my favorite word and your least favorite word dishes.
Emotions can often feel like a rollercoaster, especially when you're on the path to recovery. In this episode of Positive Recovery MD, Dr. Jason Powers sits down with Arlina Allen, a Life & Recovery Coach and the founder of Sober Life School, to tackle one of the trickiest aspects of recovery: dealing with guilt and shame. Arlina, who has been sober since 1994, brings a wealth of experience and wisdom to the table.
She’s not just a coach; she’s also a mother, a wife, and a podcast host herself. Her story is one of transformation and resilience, making her insights incredibly relatable and practical. Throughout their conversation, Arlina shares how she managed to express her emotions healthily and why it's crucial to let go of guilt and shame for a successful recovery journey.
She also delves into her innovative course, 'Reinvent-How To Rebuild Self-Esteem & End Self-Sabotage', which is even taught in prisons to help inmates develop healthy coping skills before their release. One of the standout moments in this episode is when Arlina discusses the power of gratitude and positivity. She explains how these simple yet powerful tools can help anyone struggling with guilt and shame to shift their mindset and embrace a more fulfilling life.
If you’re looking for practical advice on managing emotions and fostering a positive outlook, this episode is a must-listen. Arlina’s candid and non-judgmental approach will leave you feeling empowered and ready to tackle your own recovery journey with newfound confidence.
