Procrastination isn’t just being lazy. For a lot of us, it’s connected to complex trauma, fear, and shame. Tim Fletcher talks about how it often starts as a survival response in childhood and then turns into a cycle of avoidance and self-criticism that follows us into adulthood. He also shares a compassionate way to start breaking free and finding healthier ways forward.
