The Boy Who Never Lost Hope: ‘The Junior Years’ is a raw and unflinching look at the junior years of a Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) survivor with an ACE score of 10.
The Boy Who Never Lost Hope: 'The Junior Years'
Traumatised in utero and born into poverty, with PTSD symptoms from birth; with a heroin-addicted, prison-cell-hopping father who committed unspeakable acts of domestic violence; a mother who suffered from significant mental health challenges stemming from her own history of abuse; and previously trusted family members who would continue the cycle of extreme abuse in a ‘Cinderella effect’.
Dissociated, damaged, broken, and left wanting to die!
As his defiled mind and body bear the brunt of this immeasurable distress, he experiences sensations, feelings, and emotions no primary-age child should have to endure.
Starting where we left off in the last book, aged 7, and now with a shattered sense of safety and a newfound distrust of everyone around him, we follow Ricki throughout the rest of his primary school years, as unexpected deaths, suicide, and great loss seem to recur as themes for his young mind to try to comprehend.
Ricki is a certified trauma specialist and is fully trained in some of today’s most powerful evidence-based trauma treatment modalities. He is also a complex trauma survivor with an ACE score of 10 and has 40+ years of lived experience of complex trauma and its recovery. He knows firsthand what it takes to make a full recovery from the debilitating symptoms of complex trauma.
