Discovering me inside
and out
Ashley Scotland
Thriving Survivors Ltd., UK
Atrue and inspiring story of a
survivor who now thriving
and helping others to do the
same. I will share my life story of
the women who were trapped
in a life that had no meaning,
purpose or hope until using Dr.
Judith Lewis Herman’s research
on Trauma and Recovery to give
my life meaning and purpose
once again. Delegates will be
taken on a journey as I talk about
my experience as a survivor of
rape and domestic violence, how
I overcame these dark days and
8 years of agoraphobia through
the use of my recovery toolkit
that was primarily based on
Herman’s work. Delegates will
hear how using Herman’s model
of recovery I created a business
that has disrupted the field of
recovery in Scotland by helping
survivors return to a meaningful
life. Thriving Survi-vors Ltd. was
born whilst I myself was still in
recovery, by using my personal
life experience and turning my
unique recovery toolkit into an
8 week Discovering Me training
programme for survivors I was
soon at the point of launching my
very own business. Delegates will
learn of course that my journey
doesn’t stop hear, in fact, it only
just begins as I embark on my
very own meaningful life that for
so many years I thought was going
to me. Delegates will get a unique
insight into the mind of a Thriving
Survivor, hear a story of hope and
inspiration not just of one but
of many as I explain how I have
taken a psychological theory and
put in into practice to gain life-
changing results for those I work
within the United Kingdom.
