About this listen

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.
