The Difference Between Guilt and Shame - Why It Matters for Complex Trauma Healing and Recovery
Tim Fletcher
View ChannelAbout
Tim Fletcher is a pioneer in the Addictions and Complex Trauma field. After 30+ years of helping others as a pastor, his own trauma recovery and work in addictions treatment led him to recognize how deeply Complex Trauma intersects with addiction, mental health, behavior, and coping. Tim founded the RE/ACT program and later Tim Fletcher Co. His work has since shaped our LIFT Program, ALIGN Courses, COMPASS Program, and more. We're a team who’ve faced Complex Trauma ourselves and are committed to supporting others in their recovery. Through Tim’s free videos, our courses, community support, and our intensive programs, we’re helping change the landscape of Complex Trauma recovery. If you’re wondering where to begin, we invite you to start with Tim’s videos here on YouTube. If you need more guidance, reach out to us — you don’t have to do this alone.

Tim Fletcher explains how trauma creates a shame-based identity, the difference between guilt and shame, and why healing requires accurate self-perception. He explores how distorted parental “mirrors” shape a child’s view of themselves, how shame affects adult relationships, and how healing involves self-awareness, connection, and self-compassion.
