WELCOME TO LIFT ONLINE LEARNING!
Discover and heal the root causes of addictions, mental unwellness, and physical or relationship issues through this transformational, 75-session immersive program.
What is the LIFT Online Learning Program
and how does it work?
LIFT Online Learning is the online version of Tim Fletcher’s highly successful RE/ACT program (Recovery Education for Addictions and Complex Trauma). Our most popular program is our LIFT Live Online Learning Basic program, taught via Zoom® by our team of trained facilitators. Participants who are in need of coaching have the option to connect with someone who can give them a weekly support session.
The LIFT Online Learning program consists of watching lecture videos, answering focus questions, and group classroom discussion with facilitators and fellow students. The program curriculum is delivered in two Phases.
Participants in LIFT Live Online Learning must participate in each scheduled group session (aside from excused absences) in order to receive a certificate for the course. The meetings are important for offering support, facilitating a community atmosphere, and allowing for class discussion. All programming is available in English for participants age 18+, apart from any location offering our ACCEL program, geared specifically for teenagers.
*Please note that the LIFT Self-Study program is self-guided and does not include group discussion or access to 1-on-1 coaching - see details in the LIFT Program Options section below.

“Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.” - Gabor Mate
Trauma is someone’s response to a deeply scary or harmful event that makes them unable to cope. Complex Trauma is defined as the response to an ongoing environment of danger where one never feels safe. This response constantly signals a stress response such as fight, flight or freeze. It affects every aspect of a person - their bodies, relationships, brains and ability to have a spiritual connection. Tim Fletcher has identified 60 Characteristics of Complex Trauma which may help you put the pieces together as to how it may have affected you.

Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you. - Gabor Maté
Our programs and training environments encourage participants to look at early childhood environments with a different type of lens; not only focusing on seemingly obvious, (largely traumatic) events, but on all of the pieces that may have played a role. We investigate biological, psychological, social and spiritual factors with a measure of curiosity, compassion and love. By examining the entire picture, we are able to see that several aspects of early childhood can be traumatic, resulting in shame-based identity development, unsound coping adaptations, and unhealthy relationship attachments.
We’re here to safely connect with, and help you explore that journey of discovery - together!
