A raw and unflinching look at the young adult years of a Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) survivor with an Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) score of 10.
The Boy Who Never Lost Hope 'The Young Adult 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’.
After dropping out of sixth form and then suffering a vicious, bloodied attack with a tool on Christmas morning, Ricki tried to gain physical distance by travelling to the other side of the world. However, he still couldn’t shake off the dark shadows that had followed him his whole life.
Picking up where we left off in the last book, we find Ricki at 16 and follow him through his young adult years and beyond, where he ends up in the Maldives at 19 and then becomes a first-time parent, all before turning 20!
Terrified? Or a chance to break the cycle of abuse once and for all?
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.
