My guest on today's episode is Achara Tarfa. She is a certified IFS practitioner, co-founder of the Global Trauma Institute, and director of the PATH program. We talk about finding IFS, what trauma coaching offers that therapy often doesn't, and why she and her co-founders built GTI to create the spaces they needed but couldn't find.
Takeaways
IFS gave Achara language for her own anger for the first time
When the people you turn to for help fail you, the harm compounds. Achara experienced this firsthand and it shaped everything she built
Trauma coaching isn't replacing therapy. It's reaching people the system has missed
Healing isn't just individual. It's about dismantling the systems, cultural, institutional, hierarchical, that created the harm
PATH meetings use IFS to address addiction and its underlying trauma together
AA teaches you how to survive; PATH teaches you how to live.
If you're in protection mode, there's no room to feel. That's not a flaw, it's survival
