This man explains my rage, my bad temper, my moody and ominous presence until it brings me to tears. Not a single psychiatrist had done that ever before. Tim Fletcher is an eye opening reality check for me.

[@TinaDougherty]

Yep. Much Love 🙏🏻💕

[@livelife5947]

You’ve got the best mental health videos I’ve ever seen. I’m binge watching all of them. Thank you

[@Quinefan]

Live Life He's absolutely brilliant. Quite extraordinary. I absolutely believe what he says at the start of Complex Trauma 1 - that complex trauma is the missing piece that solves the mental health puzzle. I hope this will eventually mean revolutions in mental health care and the way people, especially children, are treated.

[@carollund-hopkins3486]

Your lecture series' are PHENOMENAL ! so clear! I AM so grateful for this wisdom you share. as this area of mental/emotional health is very challenging to find support/counseling that truly understands CPTSD. to listen and recognize my own experience of dissociation is a milestone in my recovery.

[@carolinetupling7089]

I keep adding "clips" of your various lectures to FB. Very impt info for ADDICTS that I haven't heard before (40 yrs nothing!) So...ty. I wish I could join your 9.99 month site, but I can't at this time,.just got resober!! Ty so much

[@nishasankaran]

Takes a special kind of person to discuss all these topics with such compassion, all the while being informative. Thank you💖🙏

Takes money.

[@KarenDUlrich]

Most important thought in this video: 16:25 to 17:06 "I have been around a lot of people who have been diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder and there is a lot of stigma around it. If you know someone with DID, they have been made fun of and talked about as if they are totally looney, crazy, etc. What I want you to understand is this. It comes out of a brain trying to survive and to protect a child from very severe trauma. The only option available is a fracture of the personality."

[@dianelamorticella6053]

Tim Fletcher, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! I keep watching and listening to you and I feel so much better now!!! you have helped me shed a lot of weight!!!! I am sending you lots of love and prayers for protection in this crazy world, I hope you are safe and well!!!!

Great contribution ❤

[@michellebogenschutz9544]

I'm so glad I found you. You're a great support for my therapy. Reading material is hard for me. ✌️

[@kimlec3592]

He says brain, but more accurately it's mind. Your mind is good at cutting off from painful feelings if the pain is bad enough.

[@teemadarif8243]

Thank you Tim . You just fully confirmed everything I knew to be true🙏🏽

[@lumisis1943]

Fuck. I cried first time in 40 years. THANK YOU..

This lesson is BEYOND uncomfortable for many people. It is a lesson for too many of us in AMERICA.

[@anneliebyrne2580]

Again - thank you so much... the fact that you've been through process with others, and that it helped means a lot 🙏🏼 and.... Please - don't cut out The prayer... 😉❤️

He knows my life story.

[@davidnorman2134]

My mother nearly murdered me when I was 8 years old and so much of this lecture really explains so much for me

[@manishpandey2083]

My family, especially father kept trying to kill me until I was 30, and now I see how close I had been to death all my life... I am sometimes amazed at how I survived all that. But thats the thing, as Tim Says - "We survived because the fire inside us, was greater than the fire outside us"..... My best wishes for you. Love.

[@leavefollow1698]

@@manishpandey2083 I would love to hear your story

[@everhopeful3957]

I've watched dozens of videos and this almost describes my ex partner to a T, he disconects by zero emotions self medicating with drugs and sex addiction pathological lying , this horrible illness has torn us apart robbed us of a happy future together , he acted out a fantasy of a happy future for us at the same time finding ways to be disconnected before and all the time we were together , he's left hating me for finding out the awful truths also I horribly spurt out my feelings and me hating him for what he's done to me unfortunalty endless promises to get help repeated relapses back to self medicating and sex addition I've now walked away from one of the characters I desperately loved his switching was to much .

Complex Trauma Coping Styles. Exactly.

[@dianacrow7509]

Excuse me...my 'freeze' became a locking of my lungs over time. Coping skills have evolved; have not experienced a panic attack, (w/out medication) in almost nine years. 10 hours after hypos each Geodon & Ativan required to stabilize lungs & heart. I was 'out', no clue. DBT helps, useful...coping skills. Tool box! Prayers... ~♡~

[@nunyabizness3890]

This is very good, but he over-generalizes at 20:00, with the everyday part (also known as "apparently normal part" or ANP). Usually, no, the ANP is not passive. Usually, the ANP is quite responsible, capable, and positive. Also, to say that each part holds a specific emotion -- e.g., fear, anger, etc. -- is not quite true of all systems. For example, some parts in some systems carry out a particular ROLE or hold specific MEMORIES. Some are trauma holders, some are persecutory parts, some are gatekeepers. No two systems are alike.

[@user-wi3yx3gy2o]

I had the same thought. “Hosts” or “ANPs”are sometimes a lot more high functioning than you might expect, more than a lot of other people with substance abuse disorder, BPD, or even ordinary CPSD sometimes. One person was a Department of Justice supervisor lawyer (before therapy) and one ran a think tank/NGO. On the other extreme, you have people who are in really bad shape, and totally out of control.

[@MiaKatharine]

I've been listening to your series on shame lately and it's excellent, for me at least. However, I've been finding it's setting off my DID and I've been getting some painful issues from that-physically. I get switching headaches I guess is what it is. I'm on topamax because they get to be migraines so now I don't get the migraine but everything else. Its rough. I'm trying to focus on lowering the stress inside as I listen to the video and if I fee like its too much, stop it. I also started meditating more regularly. Because I normally just take valium for the stress. idk there is no easy way. I guess we just do what we can.🤷‍♀but the lectures are really fantastic.

[@TinaDougherty]

They truly are a God send. I've been on my healing journey for only a short time (less than 2 years, maybe even less than one ... time sometimes slips for me), and I've realized that the baby steps sometimes go unnoticed until something major clicks for me, then I'm able to gauge how much positive change(s) I've actually experienced. It's definitely a process (Tim himself says 2-10 years), but I'm finally able to FEEL again. Baby steps ... literally, as we are learning to re-parent ourselves (Tim's re-parenting series in his playlists is awesome too!). Be kind (and compassionate) to your (inner child) self and know that YOU ARE WORTH IT. Much Love 🙏🏻💕

Numbing emotions because I'm punished if I show anything but happiness. Fun time. My parents taught me that I only stop getting hit once I can take the hits quietly. No crying. No moving. I can't explain what happens but I can go somewhere else. I feel like I'm not even real. my younger brother and I have wondered if we have D.i.d.

Sounds exactly like my life

[@catsaresocute650]

As to ADHD I understand the theisis and surface level seems resonable but assuming Warrens reserch on fathers is rights it's more of a thing of not being often enogh sit down and talked to, so it's more of a response to inaqeuquatly long and varried play/talking, what means it's more of a lack of brain formation. If on the other hand it would be dissociative, then I would He rediculesly happy, for one that showes that maybe every other point isn't real and fathers aren't necessery

[@jkthewonderguy]

The movie split is based on a real person named Billy Milligan who lived in Athens Ohio, home of Ohio University, where I went to school. The story of Milligan was much more interesting than the fictionalized version of his life. Check it out

But if counseling is selected as a treatment option, make certain that the doctor isn’t part of the cult as they are interested in programming the alters to further serve the council

that sounds more like schizophrenia than DID

I think it’s a sound production issue.

[@dirtybomb32]

@@honestandfair1572I agree he’s passionate but his audio needs some mastering and most likely he needs a professional to help him with a setup so his audio will be crispy like your favorite artist’s songs

[@adrianacerna5431]

I love the videos I love the prayers in the end but I would say in Jesus name.

[@zubileegluckgluck]

I hate the way religious people force their religious beliefs and rituals on traumatized people, arrogantly believing they're being helpful. Not all of us believe that talking to our eyelids has magical powers, and it's wrong to inject that into a mental health presentation.

[@OnlyJesusMatters83]

Demonic spirits are 100% the cause of these disorders and in order to be free it takes time with Jesus Christ. Mark 16 says that if we believe we WILL cast out demons. This is the truth and I know it sounds insane but it is true.

[@TinaDougherty]

I thought that's why his talks are separated into "part 1" and "part 2", so those who don't want "preaching" (Tim is a preacher, after all) can bail and others can stay 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm uncomfortable specifically with the praying at the end, but I know that's a me thing, not a Tim thing. The wisdom Tim shares for free is unmatched imho, and I've learned to take what resonates with me (and am grateful to the depths of my soul for it 💕) and leave the rest. Oddly, I've also noticed that much of what didn't resonate previously, has made perfect sense when I return to it later. "When the student is ready ..."? Much Love 💕

My son has absolutely no trauma whatsoever. He inherited ADHD from me and his dad.
