CPTSD, Codependency & Shame | Trauma Meets Recovery Ep. 2 with @TimFletcher
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you constantly feel responsible for others, struggle to set boundaries, or carry deep shame you can’t explain — complex trauma may be at the root.
In Episode 2 of Trauma Meets Recovery, we explore the connection between CPTSD (Complex PTSD), codependency, boundaries, and toxic shame, drawing from the teachings of Tim Fletcher, a leading voice in complex trauma recovery.
Complex trauma often creates patterns of people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and feeling responsible for other people’s emotions. These patterns are deeply tied to shame and survival strategies developed in childhood.
In this episode we discuss:
• How CPTSD shapes codependent patterns
• Why shame becomes a core wound in complex trauma
• The connection between trauma and people-pleasing
• Why boundaries can feel so difficult for trauma survivors
• What recovery and healing can actually look like
If you’ve ever felt like you lose yourself in relationships, struggle to say no, or carry a sense of shame you can’t explain, this conversation may help you better understand the impact of complex trauma — and the hope that recovery brings.
Healing is possible.
