WHEREVER YOU ARE

At every level of recovery, you still need three things:

01

Community

People who understand and know the work of recovery.

02

Courses

Curriculum and resources that give you a vocabulary and self-awareness.

03

Coaching

Someone outside your own view of yourself who can hold a safe space.

HOW IT FITS TOGETHER

Community, courses + coaching

Healing from Complex Trauma takes more than information. It takes a path to follow, someone to guide you, and people who understand. Tim Fletcher Co. brings these together in three parts. Each supports the other, but you don’t have to do everything at once; start with one and build toward all three.


Community

A place to connect with others who understand what this is like. Shared experience makes the work less isolating, and the pain more tolerable.

Courses

Courses and programs that cover Complex Trauma one topic at a time. Lessons, videos, and journal prompts help you learn and apply it at your own pace.

Coaching

Personal support from a coach who understands Complex Trauma. They help you apply what you’re learning and work through what comes up along the way.

What is Complex Trauma?

“Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.” —Gabor Maté

Trauma is someone’s response to a deeply scary or harmful event that makes them unable to cope.

Complex Trauma (or C-PTSD) is defined as the response to an ongoing environment of danger where one never feels safe. This response constantly signals a stress response such as fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. It affects every aspect of a person—their bodies, relationships, brains and ability to have a spiritual connection. Tim Fletcher has identified over 85 Characteristics of Complex Trauma which may help you put the pieces together as to how it may be affecting you.
