Here is an Encore presentation of my interview with CPTSD expert Tim Fletcher - On Today's episode on CPTSD I am fortunate enough to talk with founder of RE/ACT Tim Fletcher of Winnipeg, Manitoba who now resides in Windsor Ontario.   Tim Fletcher is the Founder and President of RE/ACT (Recovery Education for Addictions and Complex Trauma). He used his skills as a pastor and counsellor to develop this program to help the people he cared for overcome addiction. During his early years, he realized that everyone has a loved one who struggles with addiction, and many people struggled with unrealized addictions and unhealthy coping techniques. He found that 97% of addicts also struggled from Complex Trauma (C-PTSD). After researching C-PTSD which was identified as, “A series of events that occur where a victim feels unsafe, and as such, develops mental disorders which inhibit them from coping in stressful or harmful circumstances”, he concluded that research was showing that there is a physical difference between the brains of those who grew up in loving and nurturing homes and those who didn’t – before any addiction became prevalent. This was a really informative and extremely beneficial and educational opportunity for myself to learn more about CPTSD and I hope that you can learn so much more about your CPTSD as well with this episode! https://timfletcher.ca/ https://www.youtube.com/c/TimFletcher Twitter - TRAUMATIZEDPC.
