What was said
"My little girl, she's locked up, and the little girl that was abused, she's locked up. But my protector parts are the controller, the cocaine addict, right? Even though I'm in recovery, that addict part is present."
On Ed Mylett's show, Gabby Bernstein disclosed childhood sexual abuse and explained how Internal Family Systems therapy helped her understand her addiction and controlling behaviors as protective mechanisms shielding traumatized child parts of herself. She described these protector parts as valuable survival responses rather than character flaws.
