Episode description as stored
What if the part of you that wants to drink, use, or self-sabotage isn’t the enemy — it’s just trying to protect you the only way it knows how?
In this episode of I Love Being Sober, recorded live at Camelback Recovery’s outpatient center in Scottsdale, Arizona, host Tim Westbrook sits down with licensed professional counselor and IFS therapist Kristy Crabtree for a deep conversation on trauma, healing, and what it actually means to recover from the inside out.
Kristy breaks down Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy in plain language — explaining why we all have protective “parts,” why no part is bad (even the addictive ones), and how to work with your inner world instead of fighting it.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What IFS therapy is and why it works for addiction and trauma
The difference between a “manager” and a “firefighter” — and which one is driving your behavior
Why your addictive urge has a positive intention (and how to redirect it)
How trauma gets stored in the body and blocks spiritual growth
A simple breathwork technique to regulate your nervous system right now
How to begin healing the inner child without becoming overwhelmed
Kristy Crabtree is the founder of Inner Light Counseling in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area and Sacred Revolution, a consciousness expansion practice. She is the author of Sacred Revolution and Reclaiming Eden , and host of the Transcendence Talks podcast .
