Kay Douglas is a registered psychotherapist. She specialises in abuse and trauma recovery and anger change. She has worked with women and men for over 27 years. She is the author of six books.

After being brutally hacked at with a machete multiple times and with her friend murdered in front of her eyes, Kay Wilson somehow managed not only to fool her attackers and play dead, she rose to her feet, gagged, and bound, and bleeding to death, staggered barefoot for over a mile.
