I just remember even in that drunken state, just looking heavenward into the stars and just saying, God, I can't do this anymore. That was the last time I ever had any alcohol.
Kimberly Berlin seemed to have it all—growing up in the south of France, attending Juilliard, and traveling the world as a ballerina. But behind the glamour was a life marred by abuse, abandonment, and addiction.

Kimberly opens up about her struggles with addiction and the moment of clarity that set her on the road to recovery. She candidly discusses the challenges she faced, including a negative experience at her first 12-step meeting that kept her away for seven years. Despite these setbacks, Kimberly found her way back and is now a licensed integrated psychotherapist and Internal Family Systems (IFS) practitioner.
Arlina and Kimberly dive deep into the intricacies of IFS therapy, a powerful modality for trauma treatment. They explore how this therapeutic approach can help resolve long-standing negative behavior patterns by addressing different parts within our internal systems. The conversation also touches on the significant role spiritual practices play in healing addiction and trauma. Kimberly shares insights from her upcoming book, 'Rise and Recovery: The Spiritual Path for Healing Addiction', which blends spirituality, neuroscience, and addiction recovery.
The book promises to be a comprehensive guide, emphasizing meditation, breathwork, nutrition, and nature connection as tools for healing. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and practical advice on overcoming addiction and finding inner peace.
