General

Ratticus is a college student who lives at home. His full name is Ratticus Alexander Tierney. His presentation around new people— and what we have seen with Doctor Zo— leads you to believe he is intrinsically flippant, careless, disrespectful, and irresponsible. He comes off like he has a strong sense of self in how bold, reactive, and opinionated he can be.

Intrusive Thoughts

Ratticus's intrusive thoughts are a constant in his life and have been happening as long as he can remember. He's had some outlets come and go in the form of certain friendships, relationships, and hobbies where he could unpack and express.

His thoughts greatly worsened his senior year of high school, having to do with the incident where he was suspended. Around this same time he also lost his main outlets, which we'll dive into further how and why another time. We'll also dive into what exactly are some of the thoughts he has as the story progresses. His thoughts are a defining part of him spiraling to the point of therapy being nothing short of medically necessary.

Impulsive Action

The visible actions seen by Ratticus such as drinking Dr. Zo's coffee, spilling it, and throwing the table, are all impulsively-based, and do not often match up with his intrusive thoughts. However in doing them, it helps him to quiet his intrusive thoughts briefly, the thoughts of which are usually extremely morally frightening but also jarringly persistent. When exhibiting these actions, for him it is like picking the lesser of two evils.

The disruption gives his brain something else to think about and focus on, even if just for a few moments, and with him lacking other healthier outlets, he acts on impulse more and more often. This is, in part, why Dr. Zo's mirroring with taking off his tie and settling in also helps Ratticus to sit quietly for much longer than he otherwise would've been able to.

Ratticus also deals with anger issues and general anxiety, and has a strong need to be in control whenever possible. all these exhibit differently and mesh with one another, creating a fuzzy visual of what all is going on. Dr. Zo certainly has his work cut out for him.
