As a schema therapist I have had the privilege of watching many of my clients let go of unhelpful coping strategies which they used to survive childhood traumas. What of the reverse, for those of us who were not so fortunate, and raised in ‘toxic environments’, leading to the development of ‘early maladaptive schemas’, and in order to survive grasped onto whatever coping strategies we could devise, but often these strategies were unhealthy and could develop into longer term problems, preventing any possibility of ‘thriving’.

You need to stop blaming others and take total ownership of your life and your. From Survive to Thrive is an essential guide for any current or aspiring director to use in actively preparing for and successfully navigating the many aspects of leadership in early childhood education. This could be attributed to having had parents who themselves had good strategies to survive difficult or traumatic situations and these were learnt from a young age. If you truly want to thrive, not survive, you need to transform your mindset. So why is it that some of us are more equipped to get through periods of survival in order to reach a higher plane and ‘thrive’? Most of us have times in life when we have to pass through a period of survival in order to thrive. To survive means to continue to live or exist in spite of danger, whereas to thrive means to grow, develop and prosper.
