The Boy Who Never Lost Hope 'The Senior Years' is a raw and unflinching look at the senior years of a Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) survivor with an Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) score of 10.
The Boy Who Never Lost Hope 'The Senior 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’.
What causes a preteen or teenager to start engaging in risky behaviors such as smoking, drinking, sexual intercourse, marijuana use, and ecstasy use?
The ability to numb their pain? A sense of control in an out-of-control environment? Or perhaps a cry for help?
As we journey deeper into Ricki's tempestuous senior school years, we begin to unravel why. We also start to learn what counteracts these devastating, complex wounds.
Could a blossoming young love truly begin to heal so many deeply held wounds?
