After Amy Griffin narrowly lost a school election aged 12, one of her favourite teachers, Mr Mason, stopped her in the hallway. 'You're the real leader of this school', he reassured her.
Amy Griffin reveals she blocked the memory of being raped and threatened by her teacher, Mr. Mason. Years later, during psychedelic-assisted therapy, she recovered the repressed memories of the abuse, including the threat to rip out her teeth if she told anyone. The abuse started when she was 12 and continued until she was 16. She explores the impact of the abuse on her life in her memoir, "The Tell," and questions if confronting the past has made her life better or worse. She also suspects another girl may have been abused by the same teacher.
