Bobbi Parish is the Founder and Executive Director of the International Association of Trauma Recovery Coaching. Bobbi started the association in 2017 to support a global need to heal from trauma. In transparency, I am certified as a Trauma Recovery Coach through the Association, having completed the Initial and Advanced certificates.
A survivor of childhood abuse herself, Bobbi used her graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy to work with other trauma survivors. She switched from therapy to coaching in 2014, finding the freedom to tell her clients that she loved them just as they are.
After experiencing how powerfully coaching helped survivors of trauma heal, Bobbi decided to help others become Trauma Recovery Coaches. As one person she could help a limited number of survivors heal, but teaching other coaches and sending them into the world provides thousands of survivors with high quality, easily accessible help.
(Trigger Warning: In recounting her origin story, Bobbi shares her story of trauma and survival.)
Why is this such an important message to get out to the world? Because there is hope for trauma survivors.
She's created a program that welcomes you home, to a safe place, to be loved, seen, heard, understood and cared for. She is building an team of Trauma Recovery Coaches who have lived experience who want to support and help other trauma survivors. "I'm here with you. How do we get out together?"
A must listen. Learn with us. Heal with us.
Come join the global movement of trauma recovery!
