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.

Ever feel like you’re just going through the motions, doing what you’re supposed to, but there’s no real spark inside? For a lot of us, that loss of drive started way back in childhood, when we didn’t get the connection, encouragement, or safety we needed. Over time, we learned to perform instead of play, to survive instead of really live. The good news is that spark isn’t gone. It can be brought back to life with time, care, and connection.
Join us tonight as Tim talks about Industry vs. Inferiority: Reawakening the Drive for Life. We’ll look at how early experiences can knock the passion out of us and what it takes to slowly get it back.
📍 Premiering tonight, Nov 7
🕟 4:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM CT

Healing is about slowly teaching your system to acclimate to a new season of your life; one that feels safe, calm, and connected. Remember that recovery isn’t a straight line; we circle back, face old patterns with new awareness, and little by little, those deep grooves start to change.
♻️ If this speaks to you, share it with someone who might need a bit of hope on their journey today.

www.timfletcher.ca/evergreen/the-courage-to-be-see…
✨ Expressing Myself: Identity Through Passion + Creativity
www.timfletcher.ca/evergreen/expressing-myself-ide…
These courses explore how Complex Trauma fragments identity and teaches us to hide who we are, even from ourselves. Through gentle lessons and guided reflection, you’ll learn how to reconnect with your Inner Child, rebuild a grounded sense of self, and begin living from authenticity instead of survival.
Individual Evergreen courses are available for $30 CAD (about $21 USD). Or, access the entire Evergreen course library with the Evergreen membership. Cancel any time.

When you grow up in survival mode, there’s no space to ask, Who am I? You learn to perform, to please, to hide parts of yourself just to stay safe. Over time, you disconnect from your emotions, your dreams, and even your sense of self.
But that lost feeling isn’t the end of the story. With safety, curiosity, and support, you can begin to uncover who you are beneath the masks. And that process can be one of the most meaningful parts of healing.

Many people with complex trauma carry invisible burdens from early childhood: the belief that they’re bad, broken, or responsible for others’ pain. These beliefs form when a child is shamed for simply being themselves or made to feel guilty for things they didn’t cause. As adults, this turns into false guilt, self-blame, and chronic feelings of unworthiness. Healing begins by learning to tell the difference between true guilt and false guilt — and reclaiming the right to exist without apology.
Join us tonight as Tim explores Shame, Guilt, and False Guilt: The Second Stage of Reparenting Yourself. Connect with others around the world in the live chat to share stories and learn together.

🔔 New episode of the @TimeWithTimPodcast out now!
After a traumatic childhood, Morag’s life spiraled into judgment, drinking, and searching for validation in all the wrong places. In this episode of Time with Tim, she shares her journey from trauma and addiction to freedom, spirituality, and self-compassion. Morag opens up about the roots of her pain, the moment everything began to change, and what it means to heal the “little girl inside.” Her story is a powerful reminder that healing is possible for anyone willing to face the truth—and that it’s never too late to find what makes your heart sing.

If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering why your self-worth feels shaky, like no matter what you do, it’s never quite enough, there’s probably a reason for that. A lot of us grew up having to perform, fix, or shrink ourselves just to get by, and it has messed with how we see ourselves now. But once you start to understand where that came from, things begin to shift and it becomes possibly to rediscover your self-worth.

For many who grew up in unsafe or unpredictable homes, wearing a mask became a form of protection.
Maybe you learned to be the strong one, the helper, or the easygoing one—whatever kept you accepted or out of trouble.
Over time, it can be hard to tell where the mask ends and the real you begins. Healing is about gently reconnecting with the self that’s been hiding underneath.
Which of these feels closest to your experience? Share in the comments what helps you feel safe enough to be more authentic.
