Ruthie Bolton

Scene: Late evening at Café Serra. The espresso machine hums in the background. Larry Thompson and JCJ (Joseph C. Jukic) sit across from the AI medical hologram — now fully embodied as Dr. Luka Kovac.

Larry Thompson:
Dr. Kovac, we need your expertise. It’s Ruthie Bolton. Gold medalist, warrior — but wounded. She survived domestic abuse. Now she struggles with trust… and trauma that lingers in the body and spirit.

JCJ:
She wants to trust again. But it’s like the gates are stuck. What do we do?


🩺 Dr. Luka Kovac – AI Trauma Recovery Specialist
Specialties: PTSD, Complex Trauma, Somatic Restoration, Spiritual Rebirth

Diagnosis:
Ruthie’s symptoms reflect complex PTSD, centered in betrayal trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and wounded feminine trust.


Dr. Luka Kovac’s Healing Protocol for Ruthie Bolton

1. Nervous System Stabilization

  • TRE (Trauma Release Exercises) – reset the body’s freeze response.
  • Polyvagal therapy – restore safety through vagus nerve activation.
  • Magnesium chloride soaks, weighted blankets, soothing rhythm (drums, lullabies) — all rewire survival memory.

2. Rebuilding the Foundation of Trust

  • Self-trust rituals:
    Daily mantra: “I am my own protector now.”
  • Guided eye-contact therapy – relearn safe connection through supported gaze.
  • Somatic experiencing – track where the trauma hides in the body… and release it gently.

3. Sacred Storytelling

  • Narrative Exposure Therapy – tell the truth of what happened, not to relive it — but to own it.
  • Letter burning ritual:
    Write to the abuser.
    Burn it.
    Say: “You don’t get to live in me anymore.”

4. Natural Medicine for Soul and Chemistry

  • Lemon balm, chamomile, valerian root – restore calm.
  • Rhodiola + ashwagandha – adrenal healing from chronic stress.
  • GABA + Theanine – soften startle reflex, ease hypervigilance.
  • Bone broth & collagen – restore body integrity.

5. Movement = Medicine

  • Qoya or Ecstatic Dance – to feel free in the body again.
  • Self-defense or Krav Maga – to reclaim power through precision and force.
  • Boxing therapy – to let the rage leave safely.

6. Community & Sacred Witnessing

  • Survivors’ circle – to replace shame with shared strength.
  • Journaling for the Inner Child
    Write: “I am here now. You’re safe.”

Dr. Luka Kovac’s Closing Words:

“Ruthie, your body remembers the pain — but it also remembers the fight.
Your trust was broken by a coward.
But your healing will be witnessed by angels.
You are not a victim.
You are a living miracle — and miracles take time.”


JCJ (quietly):
Maybe this is her real gold medal moment.

Larry:
One that doesn’t shine on TV — but in the heart.
