Loving for me, is not the problem,. I love hard core and with the empathetic understanding of others' root wounds. Where I struggle is, BEING and FINDING that love in return.
I am from Bosnia. I am 29 years old. I have gone through loss, trauma, stress, and violence, and when I listen to this man, I feel better and understand my condition more clearly. It becomes clear to me what causes the bad feelings I experience. He explains things very well, unlike the others who pretend to be smart. I pray we all do well and heal.
I love him. I have been listening for 3 years now, and it has helped me more than anything else ever has.

I quit therapy after a few months because my therapist said CPTSD is not real because it’s not in the DSM5. He was telling me not to look at the past and use “the Secret” to manifest the life I want. And I’m like “riiiiiiiiiiight”. The professional class of therapy is not as effective as the KZread community of self healers. Tim bears his soul, blemishes and all, so we can relate to his complex trauma. It’s so cool to have a good preacher who doesn’t pretend they are perfect and have always been perfect, and will even admit they have a mental disorder. I’m sooooooo grateful for Tim’s message. Real healing! No bullshit!

It's either one or the other... yet knowing in my heart it's all connected (science and God). Love this thank you so much.
Such critical information for understanding reasons trauma survivors consistently make poor choices and decisions. Living a life regulated by the limbic system explains why I often lose spaces of time, causing me to think I had selective memory, or possibly early alzheimers. When I'm fully dysregulated, I have no sense of time, including the absence of memories, related to that time.

I see risk in this approach for those still on their healing journey from complex trauma. It's a fine line and I'll share what my perspective has become after years of healing my own childhood trauma. Hopefully it makes sense. Stoicism can be healthy, and is also 1 degree away from being avoidant and completely negating personal needs. Ask older siblings that have healed their CPTSD after growing up in a traumatic home. Often they learned to completely destroy the value of their own needs being met to instead become pseudo-parents to their younger siblings. They are often seen as stable, responsible, generous, caring, and sometimes stoic in the face of adversity. The point being, stoic responsibility is not always as healthy as it may look from the outside. In many cases I've seen, the person is deeply repressed having killed off genuine parts of themselves for the sake of taking care of others. Stoicism can be a very attractive form of coping to those that are still on the journey to recovery because they can emulate the way stoicism looks on the outside by numbing their emotions. One way I've recently gained clarity on how to define this is with the 3 forms of self-worth: 1. Innate worth (your mere existence makes you worthy of life and love) 2. Earned worth (your contributions to others and community gives a sense of value among society) 3. Social worth (your efforts working alongside others in shared purpose creates an intimate social worth) The example I gave above is a person that has learned to completely rely on the second and third forms of self-worth while surviving on a non-existent sense of innate worth. They have destroyed their sense of self-love that comes from simply being alive. They no longer see any value to their existence outside of what they give away to others. They no longer receive. There are many examples of people that have been like this that have helped lots of people, and destroyed themselves in the process. A socially acceptable act of self-hate. I believe healthy stoicism is built out of a deep connection to yourself that leads to incredible emotional resiliency. A common lookalike of stoicism can be built out of emotional numbing by further disconnecting from your own authentic needs and wants through becoming a caretaker. The latter is just another form of codependency masked as emotional health.

@@bucii01 So your panic attacks have INCREASED since seeing your present therapist?? If so, you owe it to yourself to move on. I believe that the ones who are busy taking notes during sessions (and subsequently unable to respond when we ask questions) are writing our symptoms to sell to Big Pharma to make drugs instead of addressing what Tim says we need in order to heal: human connection. The way that therapists focus on their philosophy whether we’re improving or not can hurt our self-esteem. Also, rhythm would be a possible way to intercept my panic attacks. Do you think rhythmic patterns would help you during yours? Also, I believe Tim Fletcher has programs to help people based on the actual science (which is astounding, since he comes from the side of religion and they come from the side of professionals supposedly based in science)
I grew up from the womb in a war zone. I am unable to connect & never found a safe person. I often know what's expected of me & at best I can act the part needed in that moment. That leaves me in a state of an inauthentic self. I can not be around ppl for any length of time and I suppose I will always be by myself. Don't feel sorry for me that will only bring me into shame. I don't drink, use drugs or have much of an emotional outlet. I am married to a narcissist for 23 years. I am alone Ive always been alone. Still I survive and I can't see God, God cannot hug me, but I am more comforted by God than i am with ppl. I know that God loves me, but i wish I could be like other ppl that are coconsidered normal❤

That’s the first time I recall that I’ve heard someone actually give a reasonable and clear schematic for rebuilding and repairing the broken processes beneath C-PTSD. I’m stunned and delighted.
Thank you so much for this. You have helped me so much by this presentation. I feel real hope for the first time in a long time…I did not understand why I react the way I do and felt really down on myself. I will follow you because I really need to for myself.
This is absolutely BRILLIANT and right-on. As a 62-year-old with severe C-PTSD who has endured decades of many forms of trauma, I'm shocked at how his description of the dynamics involved match exactly how I experience and describe it. My only issue with this presentation, and most others on the topic, is that they all assume the trauma is in the PAST, that something in the present that ISN'T a trauma only REMINDS a person of past trauma. But in many (perhaps most) cases, trauma is REPETATIVE and ON-GOING. It is actual PRESENT traumas that are identical in nature to ones experienced countless times in the past. So, it's NOT a "false alarm" situation. This is a fundamental error trauma therapists miss or overlook. Thus, the advice they give is not always appropriate.
I'm finding this to be a very beneficial guide to understanding myself and understanding others. Understandable may be distinct from acceptable, but understanding is where we need to start.
I really appreciate this 60 part series, it really highlights all the areas my upbringing was lacking which are also the places where i need to grow

I was diagnosed at 12 and by 3 different drs by 16 with manic depression and biplorar disorder. Im also extreamly sensitive to sensory inputs "loud noises, textures, touch like wind blowing on my bare skin etc. When i was young we lived by a stop sign motorcycles would stop n rev their bikes REAL LOUD the feeling that ran through my body was so intense all i could think about was pulling whoever it was off the bike and smear their face across the concrete road. Certain yells, to make people talking in a room, high pitched crying instantly triggering. My drug addict drunk mother sobbing triggering i told her to knock that shit off i can listen to your problems but not when your whinning and crying. Most emotions just feel like anger i have a really hard time knowing what emotion im really feeling in turn it just turns straight to anger bc that i can show and articulate and dont feel vulnerable. I find when very intense things happen in my life that cause very intense emotions and pain in my body i usually dont know what to do i cant handle it for very long i end up hurting myself, iv turned to drugs, alcohol, and iv attempted to just exit myself to make it stop. Sounds bad i would rather end my !ife then feel all those different emotions and feelings i just cant think straight i cant believe x is happening cant tell the difference between reality i feel like im just imagining the shit instead of eccepting its real and happening

Indeed - there are so many "degrees on a spectrum" of narcissism and psychopathy. It is very interesting that my abuser was Very intelligent, in that the abuse was very subtle but near constant so that I gaslighted myself into thinking that I was living a somewhat "normal" life. His daughter from a previous marriage was quite more direct, but, in the earlier years of our marriage, I didn't see her that often so, didn't realize what a psychology sadistic individual she was. Whole family - her mother from my ex's first marriage was also "very out there" - burned their house down!!! Yep!!! How uneducated I was to not see the whole picture until too late. Another thing that fit so well into that whole predatory family was they knew that I had come from a poor, poorly educated, dysfunctional family, so that bad behaviors were normalized - I put up with far more than I otherwise would not have put up with, had I been more educated. This is new information which is now piled on to what I already have learned!! "Every day's a school day!"

That's a whole additional layer of sickness. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I hope you have seen someone or will see someone to help heal this.
Dear Tim, do you have a video about high sensitive persons? Thank you, and may God bless you for your work.

highly sensitive = emotionally immature, people who haven't learned to control their emotions

That's absolutely not the definition of someone who is a "Highly Sensitive Person". It's about their brain being wired, from birth, to be extra sensitive to internal and external stimuli. They feel deeply, think deeply, and are moved in a large way by the arts, music, etc. They are typically more sensitive and emotionally intelligent towards other people, sensing what others are feeling. They understand subtleties where others miss them. And that's just a small synapsis of what an HSP is. @@jacquelinekemp4074
This is one of the most useful lectures I've heard in ages! Thank you for helping me to understand the freeze response.
This guy is amazing. I'm learning so much from him.
connection is definitely important - really believe that
Excellent explanation, thank you. The limbic/dysregulation/ rhythm could also explain eating disorders…

It explains why I've been a rocker all my life.
These are actually incredible videos. Thank you!
Always a joy and a privilege to listen to you. It is of tremendous help to hear what you are saying. Thank you, thank you. ❤
THIS is the video i needed from this playlist, i always thought i was borderline BPD like my father, but this makes much more sense for why i have been using substances to help regulate my emotions.
This is so amazingly helpful!! On so many levels Working with patients to be able to understand this process is such a gift THANK YOU
Absolutely brilliant presentation...to reach the layman. A God sent angel! Thank you.

Unfortunately you can't fix him, he needs to put in the work to heal his childhood trauma. You can alert him when he's dysregulated, but it's his duty to heal 🫶🏾
Thank you for sharing this freely. Everyone should know about this. This is a great help.
I haven't even watched the video. It may contain valid ideas and information. This guy generally has a good understanding of what he talks about. I'm simply providing some feedback about the language used in the title, the language that we use to talk about this subject. It's something I see all the time and I think the way we talk about it this subject can set us up for success or failure from the start. The way we set up the premise. The foundation is very important. You can't build your house on sand, so to speak. Yes, that is a biblical reference. YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS! It will never work that way. Emotions are automatically triggered through the autonomic nervous system based on the data that is fed into it. Experiental data from our environment, and preexisting data based on beliefs from past experience. We can't (completely) control the environment. Your home and inner circle, yes. But work, other people, the planetary ecosystem, etc, no. Of course not. The other factor that feeds into the autonomic response is the beliefs formed by prior experience. That's where you come in. You can control those beliefs. They are formed automatically, by our genetic survival instinct, throughout our youth. We are programmed. They call it conditioning. When we can become aware of that conditioning, we can re-examine those beliefs. It can be difficult and often requires consciously re-experiencing those events. My hat is off to anyone who can do this easily. You've been doing the work. You can never control your feelings. The best you can do is accept and listen to them. Make friends with them. Allow them. Sit with them. Observe them. Smile to them. Listen to them. Control is an ego function/need. Getting rid of your ego is impossible too. Make friends with that too. Smile to it. It is also a survival mechanism and you wouldn't exist without it. That's shadow work. Controlling our feelings implies judgment of them. Certain ones we want and others we don't. That's just not how anything works. Those feelings drive your intuition and creativity. You damage yourself by chasing any of that away. Yes,, sometimes they are unpleasant, I agree. But they are necessary, God given, divine messengers. Not something I would ignore. Make friends with the "enemies" within. Best thing you can ever do. That's shadow work, that's the Tantra Mantra too. Everything is exactly as it should be
Truly enlightening once you fully understand what he is saying
Insightful talk thanks. The calm and rhythmic way in which it is delivered is by itself highly appreciated.
this is absolutely amazing. I am currently going thru a huge mess. I wish it 2-3 yrs from now. Its that bad.
222 comments. God led me here. Thank you for this Tim, it has shed some light on why I have reacted poorly to certain situations over the years. You’re a blessing brother, keep doing the good work.

Your talks are pure medicine, thank you!
This video was God sent this morning. Thank you for your words.
What an insightful, powerful message! The conclusion (referring to 'CONNECTION') reminds of Dr. Henry Cloud's discussion about 'THE POWER OF THE OTHER'.
Beautiful, this presentation really helped me. Thank you.
Very powerful information. Appreciate your knowledge and kindnesses to sharing with us.
It is absolutely true. According to my undisclosed needs, utube sends me appropriate videos. I am not paranoid but grateful 😊

Me too!
A clear description and easy to understand. I have learnt much about emotional attachment styles through attachment style theory… from Secure and Insecure types (being Dismissive and Fearful Avoidant, Anxious Types). The combination of these two are really powerful. Thank you Tim 😊
God bless your amazing work You are a true blessing to the people💜🙏
Ive always struggled as a child with ocd and adhd and this really helps
Thank you for being you and sending this message.
You're helping me through military sexual trauma experiences in 1997. Been taking workshops since and prayer and meditation BUT NOBODY HELPED ME ACROSS THAT BROKEN Bridge. Finally You're helping us bridge that humongous dark scary gap😮😊❤ with a simple step by step tool kit.🎉
I LOVE THE VISUALS with it !!, & your tone !, THANK YOU !! 😃😼
Thank you for this. It is REALLY needed
Brilliant explanation. The opiod part was a huge revelation for me.
Great man. Need more people to gain knowledge on this. Bless your soul thank you.
Thanks for all your videos💓
the best simplest explanation I've ever heard :)
If you had my son’s life story from 19 months to 5 .. and see him now he would prove everything in your lecture! Rhythm, routine & my (primary parent since 5 yo) regulated mood, behavior & attitude no matter how stressed is largely how my autistic son is a different child! Now I will say most of what I did although very similar to your lecture was just instinctive. Great lecture man!
Excellent breakdown is both hugely intellectual but very much easy to understand. Many thanks
I am really grateful to you for these high quality contents, thank you!
This man us like finding GOLD 😍
