Here’s what our clients say.
I can honestly say that Lift has completely changed my life. When I started Lift I didn’t even know who I was as I wore masks my entire life … My relationships are currently better than I could have ever dreamed of.”
Amazing! Life transforming! Thank you so much! Thank you for this wonderful roadmap to finally learning how to provide my needs and heal my complex trauma. I’m overjoyed with gratitude. Truly transformational!”
Great course. I feel a strange sense of contentment as I work through it. Also, the feeling that someone finally understands me after years of being unsuccessful with therapy is hard to describe - it gives me hope…”
For the first time in my life, I found a community where I didn’t feel different, alone, or on the outside looking in. This program changed me and I am incredibly grateful.”
It took me almost 6 months before I could convince myself to spend the money on this course … I can now admit it was a small investment in the future I can look forward to. If you don’t take action, nothing will change.”
Priceless! I have been searching for answers for as long as I can remember. This is the start of another path in my journey. Thanks for putting together such thoughtful and invaluable resources.”
Before I started I had no idea how to pinpoint my core beliefs, issues and thought patterns. It’s really helped me grow and given me tools to keep growing. This is what I’ve needed my whole life, and I’m so thankful.”
It was very healing for me to begin reparenting myself by working on the 12 Basic Needs I didn’t receive as a child.”
Everyone needs this course. I realize how deep my inner critic has eaten into the fabric of my soul. I got so much clarity and resources for healing through this course. Thank you so much Tim Fletcher and team.”
I felt heard. I will recommend to others. This is the missing puzzle piece in my healing journey.”
I’ve been watching Tim’s videos for a couple of years. I had worked through many things before starting … but I was stuck on some. Through this course I have made progress and will make more. It’s working.”
Finally, answers! This is a wonderful resource to help me to fully understand how my scapegoating abuse from a toxic family caused such profound angst within me. With understanding, I now have tools for healing.”
Must-have information for every human-being. This experience reignited the joy of life within me. I feel loved.”
This course taught me so much. I am a little sad for the little girl inside me and have more compassion for myself and others.”
What I’ve been looking for. There are plenty of resources to help you understand your issues, but I’ve really struggled finding anything that says, ‘What do I do next?’ This is the information you need to start down the path of feeling better about you.”
This program has really opened my eyes. I still have a lot of work to do, but I now have a lot more awareness and the resources I need to continue healing.”
Amazing. I feel so much healing from this.”
Life changing … It’s so full of gems. I’ve recovered a lot through the techniques in this course. It’s extremely resourceful and also shares a bunch of resources at the end which is very generous. Forever grateful.”
Absolutely life changing in every way. I cannot convey my gratitude, respect and admiration enough.”
This was a real eye-opener, but even more importantly, it gives you steps to start the healing process. The bonus resources section at the end is worth its weight in gold!”
This course may be harder than I originally thought but it is what I need right now. It is also filling gaps I wasn’t able to grasp during Lift participation. I gained more than what I expected. I am so glad I completed this course.”
100% highly recommended! I really loved the system and how it presents deep topics in such a clear, digestible, and empathetic way. I also appreciate the resources provided to go deeper and continue working on key points.”
This course is excellent. I haven’t read anything quite like this material before, and it out words to my experience so I could begin to grieve what happened.”
This was helpful for me to understand the basics and has answered a lot of questions related to some of the underlying issues I have been living with.”
Love and compassion.. I so appreciate this course as it gives voice to long buried feelings so they can be processed and healed one day at a time.”
Thank you for this course. I could relate to a lot of it for myself & others in my life. This course gave me an understanding of why I am who I am & what I need to do to help myself heal and move forward one step at a time.”
Bite-sized and informative for the price. This course helped me understand why I procrastinate in relationships as an adult, it helped me explore my childhood and the root cause of this behavior. Thank you!”
This was a great addition to talking to a counsellor in helping me navigate this ongoing situation and learning more about myself I wouldn’t have otherwise that I’m sure will reverberate into all areas of my life.”
Appropriate. A great introduction to the topic of emotional neglect. Making me aware of its impact was most helpful.”
This is a straightforward course that gets right to the point. It is helpful to make the connection between my behavior and its origins. The self work questions and journal prompts are meaningful & I found them easy to do.”
Great compliment to what I’ve been working towards for over 10 years. When you think you’ve done all you can there always seems to be more!”
First course I have done. Very thought-provoking. You definitely need a quiet private spot to do these courses.”
A really good insight into myself and the process of boundaries with a narcissist.”
Well put-together. Videos with handouts are very informative.”

FAQ
Lift Live Questions.
-
Lift Live is a facilitator-led online program for adults healing from the effects of Complex Trauma. It is the online version of Tim Fletcher’s RE/ACT program (Recovery Education for Addictions and Complex Trauma). Participants watch lecture videos, answer focus questions, and join a group classroom discussion on Zoom with trained facilitators and fellow students. Across 15 modules and 75 live sessions, the program covers the characteristics of Complex Trauma, shame, anger, grief, boundaries, relationships, and healthy tools for recovery.
-
Lift Live is designed for adults (18+) who want to understand why they think, feel, and react the way they do, and who want a structured, supportive way to heal from Complex Trauma. It suits people who feel stuck in long-standing patterns like shame, anxiety, people-pleasing, or emotional overwhelm, and who prefer learning in a guided group. You do not need any background in trauma work. You also do not have to be struggling with addiction to join.
-
Before each session, you watch a 30-40 minute lecture video and complete the focus questions. Then you join your live Zoom® class for group discussion. Each class has one facilitator and up to 10 participants. Participants are asked to stay on camera to keep the group safe and engaged.
-
The program has 15 modules and 75 live Zoom® sessions. We offer eight cohort schedules across different time zones. Depending on the schedule you join, you will finish in approximately 15, 25, or 38 weeks (about 3, 6, or 8 months). You can view all schedule options in the course information sheet.
