Tim Fletcher is a pioneer in the Addictions and Complex Trauma field. After 30+ years of helping others as a pastor, his own trauma recovery and work in addictions treatment led him to recognize how deeply Complex Trauma intersects with addiction, mental health, behavior, and coping. Tim founded the RE/ACT program and later Tim Fletcher Co. His work has since shaped our LIFT Program, ALIGN Courses, COMPASS Program, and more.

We're a team who’ve faced Complex Trauma ourselves and are committed to supporting others in their recovery. Through Tim’s free videos, our courses, community support, and our intensive programs, we’re helping change the landscape of Complex Trauma recovery.

If you’re wondering where to begin, we invite you to start with Tim’s videos here on YouTube. If you need more guidance, reach out to us — you don’t have to do this alone.

A new episode of the Time with Tim Podcast is out now 🎉

Jen is a coach and facilitator with Tim Fletcher Co. who first discovered Tim’s work on YouTube during a long search for healing, and found that his way of describing trauma helped things finally start to make sense. Going through the LIFT program became a turning point in her own journey, and now she brings that personal insight into her work with deep compassion. She leads EFT tapping workshops for the LIFT community and is especially interested in somatic regulation, including tapping and other body-based tools.

Ever notice how certain patterns keep repeating, even when you’re trying to change them? You might shut down in conflict, stay busy to avoid what you’re feeling, overextend yourself to keep others happy, or carry a constant sense that something is missing but you can’t quite name what. These courses walk through the foundations behind those experiences. You’ll learn what Complex Trauma is and how it forms, how the four core survival responses shape your reactions and relationships, and how unmet needs continue to drive patterns beneath the surface.

If you’ve been trying to “fix” individual struggles but nothing fully sticks, this gives you a way to step back, see the bigger picture, and start understanding what’s actually going on underneath it all.

Free Webinar — Clearing the Fog: Brain Fog and Complex Trauma

Brain fog is a common Characteristic of Complex Trauma. Our minds feel clouded, like we’re trying to think through fog. We lose track of thoughts, forget words, and struggle to focus. It’s disorienting and frustrating to feel like our brains just aren’t fully online.

In this 1-hour webinar session, we’ll have a relaxed and welcoming talk about how you can begin to clear the fog.

🗓️ May 10, 2026

If codependency has been part of your story, you might already know it’s not just about “people-pleasing.” It’s about disconnection—starting in childhood, when you needed to feel seen, safe, and valued, but couldn’t. So you adapted. You shut down parts of yourself. You became anxious in relationships, or distant, or both. And now it’s hard to know how to truly connect without fear.

Healing starts with understanding where these patterns come from, and slowly learning how to build healthy connection—starting with yourself.

→ "If you’ve spent all your life being what others want, you often don’t even know who you are. So realize, you have to now begin to figure out who you are. You have to learn to be authentic with yourself before you can be authentic with others."

This Friday Night Tim Talk closes the fawning series by looking at why healing (or 'unfawning') can feel so difficult, even when it is leading somewhere good. We'll unpack the double binds many people face, both in fawning and in trying to come out of it, and walk through key parts of recovery like healthy anger, boundaries, authenticity, and learning to trust safe people again. If you're trying to understand why this work feels so uncomfortable and why it is still worth it, this one's for you.

Premieres tonight on YouTube at 4:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM CT. Join others from around the world in the live chat to learn together. See you there!
