Shame and Complex Trauma - Part 5/6 

I realize Ive isolated myself so much, so my shame doesnt get triggered.

something I love and apprieciate is that you separate thje christian and the 'scientific' part on your videos and I love that. Im an atheist, but I like that attitude so much that I always stay to the christian part and you know, I believe god loves me :)

What a gift you are to us who cannot afford therapy! Heartfelt thanks to you, friend💞

I have a new addiction at it is to your channel. I read so many books, went to psychologist and never was able to understand human behavior and myself more than after watching your videos. I am so so so grateful. I am making a change and being a better human because of you.

YOU ARE LITERALLY SAVING LIVES WITH THIS MESSAGE TIM FLETCHER. YOU ARE TRULY A BLESSING

Sir, I don’t have words to thank you and the amount of relief and insight I have learned from your series. It has played a key role in my self healing. I am really grateful that I stumbled upon your content.

Listening to this series is the first time I've ever understood why I struggled so much with my drinking and constant self destruction before. It hurts like hell, but I know that I am taking good steps every day... I see the shame constantly in my day now, but I also see the patterns and feel the responses raising their heads and do my best to not act upon them, instead choosing to act on the truth that I do have value. I am going to spend time with my wife and friends tonight, and it might sound absurd to others but I am so f*ing proud of me for that. Thank you for these videos, thank you for helping us to understand our pain and grow from it. I wish that any one of my therapists, counsellors or psychologists had understood what you are revealing to me now... but I am grateful for the knowledge all the same. Also, thank you for keeping the religious section separated, as an atheist I appreciate that you respect and acknowledge that it is not for everyone.

Yes anger response has become a bad habit. I try & tell myself ' Easy does it.' The world won't end if I make a mistake.

I can’t believe how revealing this is. Every word. It was shame all along and I didn’t recognize it as such. People like Tim who explain it like this, so simple and with lists of examples so we -people who never learned to properly feel and name their emotions- can RECOGNIZE ourselves are even more important than the therapists we visit to heal it. No therapist ever told me anything about 90% of all that’s on this channel, and they were pretty good. They didn’t see all this. Thank you so much Tim, I keep listening to everything (even sometimes bits of the religious parts) and I still don’t even know who you are.

i been caught in a vicious circle of shame all my life. it's over

your resources have been so good to me. Im in therapy and im working on it, but for the rough weeks, i come back here in between therapy sessions as a way to keep myself aware, and prompt me to write about it and not just go into avoidance and as a non-christian, i appreciate so much that you separated it as a thing post-lecture. I feel actually freer to enjoy the christian segment and follow it with a nice sense of curiosity without fear of it being like a pushed agenda, since everything is so clear and well adressed. Thank you not only for these talks but also for the thoughtful way you went about them

Tim you are incredible, I am moved beyond words, at your insight, no modern day psychologist, therapist, compares.

My mom didn't need the subtle signs, she just said "Shame on you" or "you should be ashamed". :D

And this can also go to a ‘self-defense’ mode of “I will do it All myself” - do everything - because ‘needing help’ means I am weak or incapable.. and then Shame Also using Please or Thank You illicit shame .. again because of self-perceived ‘weakness’

Wow! You are speaking to me. 😢thank u for this. Shame sums up a lot of what I feel everyday for the smallest things yes due To my upbringing with my dysfunctional family dynamic. I realize I can rewire my brain. I’m in tears because I’m so grateful for you that this isnt the way that I’m supposed to feel and it’s such an ugly feeling. I’m so thankful for you and your scientific approach and the Christian approach. I love it all❤

little 8 year old Miriam saved her own people by being such a good bigger sister!!

Thank you so much for the highly detailed, relatable and free information about such an overlooked and dangerous topic!

I'm struggling terribly and this helped me quite a bit. 😮😮😮😮

Tim Fletcher is such a wonderful person and teacher! Thank you so much!❤️

I can't believe this is not viewed more, this series is incredible. It feels like this is the primary issue of our times (though maybe I'm just projecting ...)

Adding religion to a person troubled with toxic shame is adding fuel to the fire. The first place I learned how worthless I was in church.

Due to the painful events of the past two months, shame really showed up like an unexpected tsunami. It started 2 months ago with a harsh criticism after I really went all out to serve others on a retreat weekend. It started a surprisingly painful emotional response. This was shortly followed by a negative job situation which really made me look stupid. This was then followed by a serious false allegation from my Landlord. I have not been the same since. I've been successfully in recovery for 2 and a half years. I've actually had panic attacks and even complete meltdowns which seemed. Be be a thing of the past. I even started hitting myself out of exasperation. I came very close to drinking put if desperation. My recovery has been seriously compromised, but in spite of it all, I'm still trying in spite of it all. I still feel demoralized, and dehumanized

Thank you so much for this series. It is beyond helpful. I started this one feeling pretty low. The hope you speak especially the the end - of being of service to God in whatever the Divine chooses to use me - has left me much less depressed and more hopeful. I have already done so much work and walked through so much Darkness. I am trusting Source to carry me. I choose Trust. Thank you again 🙏🏼💫

Ive always felt shame for making mistakes and disappointing my parents, so i hid that from them and carried the shame. They did not know how to acknowledge my mistakes without dismissing them and over time its made me feel abandoned and that im unlovable to them and every one. Ive coped with porn and alcohol to escape from feeling inadequate to others.

What a legend. Wonderful explanations using examples to show the way the brain adapts and with humour too. Makes me feel embraced as part of a special society lol!

Why do no therapists in my area understand this?!!

Appreciate all the biblical illustrations...most of all the hope for shame based people....like myself.Thankyou

If shame was a liquid I would be soaked in it. That is how "shame based" I am. 😢😢😢

Tim, I'm here to tell you. Your mom was a great gal and a good girl! What a revelation.

Thank you, every word you say is validating. This is a safe space, you are protective 👍🏽

You're talking about emotional disregulation.... And if we grow up in chaos with no role models teaching us how to grow into our emotions, this is what happens; it is not our fault. Yet it is still our responsibility to heal or fix it.

So sorry to hear about your mother. She sounded very humble. You are a great teacher and speaker and I'm sure she was very proud of you. Thank you for all these videos. They really make sense.

Thank you so much. It touches me deep inside! Little note: there is actually a bible text that says that Amram and Jochebed are the parents of Moses, ex 6:20.

Thank you so much. I am so thankful to God for this message and also to your mother Fletcher for being so an important person in your life. This message is healing to my life. May God continue to bless you.

Thank you so much for every video you share ❤️ I have been searching for this information all my life. No one have ever taught this to me and I am very grateful for this information. Thank you for sharing your amazing competence! ❤️🙏

This is freakin' life-saving!!

im so blessed to hear this. i take it as a proof of Gods love...

Thank you. I found these talks so useful. God bless you.

I love this guy so much right now. Thank you Tim!!

Thanks a ton Dr Tim, Now I understand what psychologist is.

Thats was great and absolutely beautiful how you spoke of your Mother. Shalom.

It crazy how shame drag you back to his game.

I started with part 4. So far, amazing. Thank you for posting this here - I am hopeful for the future and “healing”. Sincerely

Shame kills

Every time I hear anything about helping myself out of my toxic Shame my immediate thought is... 'but who cares? ' that's how I know something's wrong

What a blessing this is!

You know this work Thanks for your touching explanations that clears feeling shame 🙋🏽‍♀️

He is talking about me!! I thought I reag and heard all there is about the subject. Amazing

You are amazing, thank you for enlightening myself and helping others in their life journey! 💞

So many stuff bring shame for me. Even just a look, any kind of eye contact can bring shame

Lifetimes of possible time to spend time with you and your pricklee family may be in the best possible way.

I’m in isolation mode. I rarely talk. It just felt like everything people said to me was an attack via their own shame. So I’m in a card game now, and I won’t say much as I feel I reveal the hand I’m dealt. I’m quick to analyze the attacks in my mind. Why people would attack me, what their own shame is. It feels lonely.

Amazing lecture. Highly appreciate yr professional acumen.

Thank you for lectures. They are great 👍. But shame eventuality looks incurable. We only understand how it affects our lives, and that’s all. Nothing works. Especially if we know this is a deep belief, not an emotion. So sad and dead ended. 😢

I have complex ptsd and i have a lot of anger .And isolation for many year

I've been isolating for 5 years with a few days off. I'm suicidal I stay that way and I try not to talk about it. The guilt about telling anyone i Care about what I'm thinking makes it worse.

These courses really helped. Thank you so much

Thanks, Tim, for all your wonderful messages. I've been listening to you for more than a year now. Just want to add that Moses' mother was Jochebed 😊

Wow this guy always cooking me 😂

Thank you 🙏🏽

Thank you... What you taught here is very valuable to me By teaching little gr 1 children I could spread the Gospel by hopefully, in a loving way, taught little ones about God. And they responded so heartwarming. They could read, write and do elementary maths when 1 had to let them go to the next grade. That was my purpuse.and made me happy

I've watched three of his teachings today

22:59 golden

I can’t get myself to believe in God because of the stuff I went through but I do enjoy this.

Thank you. This information is life changing ❤❤❤❤

These talks are so very truly helpful! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I have so much shamre of my disability due to CPTSD..😓

You're amazing. Thank you so much for sharing these valuable information and eye opening topics and the way you lecture is not boring at all❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What about anger at the parent who induced all this shameful behavior through neglect? And what was the solution to the triggers? "Just do it anyways?" I should just keep feeling ashamed and put myself in situations where I feel shame and never resort to anger? Never resorting to anger is what has lead me to people please my whole life and not set any boundaries. So difficult to navigate this stuff and understand how I can change

Thank you!

Great Videos Tim HALLELUYAH

❤ Amazing so helpful

Thank YOu

This is amazing

Thank you.

Thank u so much it was great

First thank you for your great heart and mind. I think also shame may trigger body sensation which is so hard. Also sir I want to subscribe to your online program but I didn't understand what I should buy or how I can get all the modules.

I don’t normally continue with the Christian element, but was compelled to today, knowing growing up as a Catholic included shame. This was a wonderful addition to today’s talk on shame. Thank you so much. 🙏🏻🩵 nothing is ‘beneath’ me as I serve in God’s name.

That was beautiful ending, thank you

What do I do if every single time I screw up people treat me like I didn’t do it perfectly therefore I’m worthless?

How can you possibly understand shame so well and then think religion is the cure for shame, rather than the cause of it?

shame, shame, shame, all shames! evils mom, evils family members, everything leads to shame

When it comes to obsessive or negative thoughts about oneself, that come from lies about us or shame inducing words, can ways of treating someone be included. for eg your family treated you like a slave or used you to fight against a relative or ex.

Shame is not always positively correlated with low self-esteem. Sometimes shame is part of a pernicious game.

How about being used? Especially by romantic partners/interests?

I'm sorry about your mom. 😢

What if you deal with shame but don’t have drug addictions? Then what?

Hi! Part 2/7 and 3/7 from shame is exactly the same video. You post it 2 times the same video. Can you change the mistake? Is important for people.

Has he done anything geared towards the people around us, to help them understsnd us better?

Although I do think it is rude to roll your eyes and most people would feel some hurt.

She came to me in the sleeping hours And she sang to me in the moonlight: "Where did you dance when you baffled our chance, And when did the motley bells chime?" I summoned a verse from a chorus of blame, But it drowned in the ghost of her song. He came to me in the sleeping hours And he called to me in the moonlight: "Why does the fold now weep to behold, And how does it feel to be free?" I tendered the words from the tears of the same, But they dried as the dawn came upon. They came to me in the sleeping hours And they whispered to me in the moonlight: "What did you reap when you floated the keep, And whom did you trust with the key?" I buried my head in a cushion of shame - And I woke to find them all gone.

Amazing how they have to put a trigger warning for atheists

The standard that men are the providers is in the Bible. Children are the future who will become adults

Shame everywhere

Amram & Jochabed were Moses’ parents (Exodus 6:20)

999-trillion oceans of grief - 999-trillion oceans of rage - 999-trillion endless PTSD flashbacks - I CAN NO LONGER BEAR THIS TORTURE I'm dying on the inside he raped my soul. he gave me SEVERE PTSD. SEVERE SEVERE SEVERE!!! and now he's gone. I blocked him. I want to die. how and when will I ever heal from the PTSD flashbacks? nothing more horrific and debilitating and paralyzing than the PTSD flashbacks. the man I revered as my best friend, betrayed and abandoned me, and discarded me like garbage, and replaced me with another. this happened at the start of last year (2023), we're now in 2024, and I'm nowhere near healed. I want to die. I can no longer tolerate the pain. the emotional pain is hell. I hate my life. I am tortured and tormented with every breath I take. RAGE RAGE RAGE I want to die I want to die I want to die I can no longer bear the darkness it consumes me; suffocates me I am drowning oceans of tears the man I revered as my best friend, he raped me, replaced me, discarded me like last week's garbage... ultimate betrayal!! this grief and loneliness... they rape me; torture me; on a soul level my only prayer is for death I'm in hell and I can't find escape God has forsaken me my whole life I've been tortured, bullied, abused, raped all I do is suffer my life is hell SO NOW, IN HOPES TO HEAL, AND TO CHANGE MY LIFE AROUND, I LIVE BY THIS MODUS OPERANDI: When there’s a disagreement, when I need to say YES or when I need to say NO, when I need to state my needs, and ask for them to be met... When I need to create boundaries... There's a possibility and a probability, that someone will inevitably, most likely, be disappointed in me... So I engage in every encounter, interaction, and relationship... In a way that ensures, that the person disappointed in me... NEVER ends up being me! I aim to never repress, never suppress. I aim to never lose a part of myself. Radical honesty only: 100% of the time. Always, all ways.

Please worship the Most High Elohim.
