Hello World!

My name is Ashley Cash. A few things you should know about me:

I am an English Major with minors in Creative Writing and Professional Education.
I'm twenty until the twenty-fifth.
I love to read and write.
I also love car shows, pageant, comics, and my pets (especially my tiny dog, Molly).
I won Miss Congeniality at my last pageant and People's Choice at my last car show.
I was a victim of Teen Dating Abuse/Violence.
I am a survivor who speaks up about this horrible treatment.

Here are a few things you should know, following this blog: it is an extension of my website/blog SpeakUpAgainstAbuse.weebly.com where I talk about my volunteering and advocacy work within my church and community.

Currently, I do a solo speaking advocacy to talk to teenagers and young adults about Dating Abuse to raise awareness. This is both a passion project as well as my platform for my pageants. I have only met with a couple of teen groups, but I have decided to change things up a little, consulting more books to help myself grow and know how to better help the young men and women I speak to. My current read is 'Tornado Warning: A Memoir of Teen Dating Violence and It's Effects on a Woman's Life' by Elin Waldar. More on this later!

I am also a member of a wonderful group called Ladies of War where we handmake and decorate prayer books for women in tough situations. It's a wonderful experience to share time with so many wonderful women and use our creative powers to help others in the name of the Lord. I need to make my own prayer book soon!

Recently, I have also started helping out with a very special group known as the HOPE (Hold On Pain Ends) Depression Support Group. I was, at one time, an attendant of it every Thursday at 6:30. Now I am helping the excellent leader of the group and hoping that we can reach a younger crowd that may need this help!

Currently, I am looking to speak to groups of people from middle schoolers to college-age young adults, so if you're interested please contact me (see my website above)!

What is Traumatic Bonding?

Many people outside of an abusive relationship often don't understand why a victim doesn't just leave. I have covered the topic of exactly why it isn't always as simple as breaking up-- or moving out in the case the victim is already living with their abuser-- in a former blog post ( click here! ) but today I really want to discuss in depth one of the lesser thought of factors. I mentioned in last week's post, What is the Cycle of Abuse,  that the abuse cycle can bring on something known as 'traumatic bonding.' This is something most abuse victims, myself included, fall to unknowingly.   In his book The Abusive Personality: Violence and Control in Intimate Relationships , Donald Dutton writes, "This process [traumatic bonding] is an attachment to the abuser formed by the prior power differential in the relationship coupled with intermittent abuse. The result is a powerful attachment bond that begins to operate on the abuse victim with time away from the a...

The Best Thing I've Heard at Church

As those of you who know me personally might know, I recently started going regularly to a new church. I don't know what made this one stick, having gone to different churches before. I like the style of the services, how the pastor sticks with a certain lesson throughout. I like how community-oriented the church is, something I felt was missing from my old home church. There were places I could see myself fitting in-- and I have taken the steps to join into my new church, and am so grateful to have a place in the teen leadership. But last Sunday, the pastor said some things while talking about First Peter Chapter Two, a lesson called 'There is Purpose in our Pain.' If you want to hear the full sermon, please check it out here -- it's really good-- but my main focus is on what my pastor said about abuse . I can say with certainty, I have never heard a church take such a strong and outspoken stand on this topic-- in fact, a stance on abuse is why I left a church in t...

My Experience with Counseling

I think that going to a counselor was one of the best things I did after exiting the abusive relationship I was involved in. It wasn't something I had really considered, and I am not sure if it was something I would have gone to without being pushed. After something such as an abusive relationship, it's hard to figure out exactly what to do. I had kept so many things to myself, both out of shame and fear. I would never have thought to go tell all of what I felt to someone I didn't know. Moreover, I wasn't exactly in the headspace to make good decisions. I was in a spiral. I honestly don't remember much of the time directly after ending my relationship, but I do remember the first day I went to see my first counselor. I had a sort of block class-- meaning it was two separate classes that fit together with the same teacher. I had missed the first of them, having hidden in the courtyard of the science building to cry. I did come to the second part though. I didn...
