How Complex Trauma shows up in Relationships:

• Fear of Abandonment
• Fear of Rejection if real self is shown

Tim Fletcher, President and Director of Finding Freedom and the RE:ACT Outpatient Treatment Centre

Tim started helping people as a pastor for 30+ years. When he experienced some significant personal trauma, he transitioned into the addiction treatment sector.

Over the last 15 years through countless hours of counselling sessions, training in the various treatment programs and building on the research of Gabor Matte, he started to correlate the connection between complex trauma and life problems. Tim was guided by statistics that over 90% of people with addiction challenges suffer from Complex Trauma.

Complex Trauma is associated with childhood experiences either known or deeply buried. Complex Trauma may appear in one’s life in the form of various sorts of unhealthy behaviors and life choices. Tim has developed a treatment program specifically designed to address complex trauma or childhood issues, known as RE:ACT.
