So much insight given with patience & love. Thank you Tim Fletcher. You videos bring a wealth of understanding to my soul.

[@sloene72]

12 needs equates to 68 needs. Sounds like my own needs list that I gave the Counsellor and my ex gave a list of three.

[@Metaphysics-for-life]

I'm Jewish and just happen to be watching this in March 2024 - Purim is on March 24th 🙂. The Book of Esther isn't in the Torah but it is a very important part of the Judeo-Christian story because it's the only one that doesn't mention God, and is totally dependent upon people doing the right thing. Making the connection to the Bible and other important books is the most valuable part of your teachings. Thank you very much 💖

[@SpectrumOfChange]

This is beautiful, thank you for sharing

[@bodhischierpaine]

I have just completed the first journalling exercise in the ALIGN course about these 12 needs, and identified that each of these needs was either unmet or met in an unhealthy way in my childhood. Therapists have been telling me for years that I have complex trauma and I've had trouble accepting it (my upbringing was "normal" according to the standards of 90s Australia) but this helps me see clearly that there is a cause for the relational difficulties and addictions I have lived with my whole life. I am grateful that Tim has started to map the way out of these trauma symptoms and I'm very much looking forward to learning how to meet my needs as an adult ... there is light at the end of the tunnel 🙏

[@beesilva9085]

Mr Fletcher , I often listen to you at my high anxiety times & you are so soothing to my worries & anxiety. I can relate to everything you say.

[@gloriahylton4116]

At 61 your information is very enlightening to me. Thanks for your help in understanding the process of resolving hurt and healing..

[@NorthernLightMassageTherapy]

I have so much difficulty with meeting relational needs because it's not a need I can meet myself. It requires the willingness and interaction of others and most of us are so screwed up that reaching through my trauma to another person reaching through usually just becomes a big mess If I didn't need other people I'd be just fine lol

[@nowie4007]

[@dianemcdaniel3233]

I kept hoping that he would address that. Anyone know if he has an online community where we can connect and support each other?

[@Iluvrocket]

My mom told me I shouldn’t have any needs. It seemed like she took it as an insult. This talk makes me mad though. I feel like my mom should have watched these videos before she had children. She’s a mess, and she passed on a lot of stuff to me. I feel like I need to fix myself, if only to spite her.

[@LDXReal]

I agree that people need to seek out knowledge like this before having kids. Unfortunately we cannot change what they did, but we can change ourselves so that we can finally become fulfilled, and be able to bring a bit more compassion into the world. It also feels great to spite those who harmed us; I love that my entire existence spites my dad :) I'm glad you're here seeking out a way to learn and meet your needs. It's a journey, but I'm glad we and so many others are finally on it.

[@screenfreehacks]

Do it because You love you, and never to spite anyone.

I love these presentations so much. I was geting ready to spend a ton of money on a therapist but so much of it was so simple once someone logically put words to it. Exciting to think about what the outcome will be

[@yuliaantonenkovolkova9041]

Dr Fletcher, you are saving my sanity and my life.

[@dianemcdaniel3233]

It took me so long to see the damage done by my parents. I used to think it was because I wasn’t good enough. I feel God opened my eyes for me to see it wasn’t my fault when I asked him for healing. I forgave them long ago but every day of my life has been damaged and I am trying to heal. I’m 64 and am at a loss.

Listening to Tim has met my needs in learning to understand through the guidance of the spirit to realise in my ordinary life that there are certain steps. It all makes sense. Being a follower of Christ should be within yourself. Your attitude, your heart and rewards of good emotions experienced. Compassion, empathy and happiness.

[@manyBlessings2all]

Yes indeed.. I've been longing for a mentor, & /or surrogate parents.. wanting so much to be fostered like a rescued dog.. I'm a white middle class single 54yr old female, with chronic health issues, & late diagnosed a few years ago autistic & adhd & cptsd, living a hermit sort of life in suburban UK, feeling like a child but i guess I'm quite good at masking. My Mum died 10 yrs ago. Dad & my stepmother (married 45 yrs) live some distance away. Beloved dog died 2 years ago. People are sympathetic but seem to think I'm ok, or else they have too much on their own plates, or don't want to get involved. I can be a very good friend. A sweet cat has been visiting me, her humans are fine about it. I love the birds in the garden & the snails etc too ~ they come indoors as do frogs & spiders & other small creatures all so welcome.

[@ivalivengood6379]

These talks are incredible, but I am so broken there is no hope or salvation for me. You know that commandment to honor your father and mother? Well I loved my Dad, and I love my Mother, but honor her? She literally ripped my soul out.

[@SpectrumOfChange]

Honoring your parents is not one of the 10 commandment. Loving well is though, and it sounds like your mother did not do that. Please do not conflate honoring with being vulnerable. You can honor that she was a dangerous mother and damaged you incredibly. You can honor this while staying safe from her reaches. Right after these verses about obeying and honoring the parents, are verses telling parents to "provoke not your children to anger" and to treat them well. Remember that parents have obligations too. It's a 2 way relationship. I think this is the part that is skipped over in church culture a lot. Our children do not owe us connection if we have behaved (and continue to behave) in harmful, hurtful ways. We must treat our children with care and fairness, if we want them to respect us. Sometimes setting long term boundaries of no contact or strict conditional contact, is the best way to honor a harmful parent. It's treating them in truth, and gives them the best chance possible to understand what they've done and change their ways to become a better person. That is the loving gift of boundaries, based in truth and love. You are meant to protect and love your self too, and not allow a precious child of God to be mistreated. ❤

[@SpectrumOfChange]

@@ivalivengood6379 apologies, you're right, yes it is. However, honoring does not mean to let them do you harm or pretend they are someone they're not. That's not what God wants for us. I really encourage you to watch his video "Re-Parenting part 17 Accepting Others".

Meh. Our toolkits are different. Emotional age…us unloved are all about 5 when we start this journey. Street smarts age…well, I was more capable at 6 than most adults today at dealing with shit. The whole “what age am I” thing isn’t as important and impossible to measure. Just go with the process.

[@silkysmoothsound]

It’s really tough and there’s not just one simple answer to your questions, unfortunately. BUT! There are great treatments available nowadays for people in need. Reach out to a local therapist or mental health facility, keep trying different therapists until you find one you connect with. You can do it!❤

[@raeanneegan6191]

Hi I can relate as I am in a similar situation. Please start with creating a safe connection with yourself and God. So start with healing your inner critic especially if it is very loud, criticising and negative, rebuilding your self esteem. Learning to receive God’s love so you can begin to learn how to love yourself correctly. When you feel stronger try a local church or support group. And start with baby steps in trusting others. But learn the skill of learning toxicity or red flags in others and if they are not safe then put up boundaries with time you will fine your clan with God’s help. Also heal the wounding in you that made you susceptible to narcissistic abuse. Praying for God’s love to strengthen you.

[@mariacliment2767]

​@@raeanneegan6191Thank you but...how do you heal the wound that makes you susceptible to narcisism if you dont know what it is that makes you susceptible? Do you understand what I am trying to say?

[@GodIsLove1John416]

Life and human behavior is so immensely complex, what's simple about any of this? The brilliance in these in depth discussions is that it covers/validates EVERYONE'S experiences; past, present & future. It's up to the individual to pick what they resonate/recognize within themselves to change if willing to get beyond the denial stage while also learning how to validate others experiences as well.
