An Autobiographical perspective
by Danny Scott
A story they said couldn't be written, by the man they said couldn't succeed.
Real, raw and radical - shocking and disturbing, yet humorous, charming and beautifully endearing.
A story of tragedy, torment and trauma - desperation, darkness and delirium, infused with healing , happiness and hope.
Part memoir, part survival manual, "Numb" chronicles the brutal reality of institutional trauma before offering something extremely valuable – practical tools for anyone navigating their own darkness toward light.For the 1-in-3 who've walked this road themselves, and the 1-in-2 who know someone that has, this is a celebration, a testimony to the possibility of radical transformation, and a roadmap for those still finding their way.

The Story
Abandoned at just 15 months on a London street, Danny Scott's life began with harsh rejection – and the years that followed only deepened it. Expelled at 16, barely literate, his future looked non-existent – permanently extinguished before it ever had a chance to ignite....Yet it wasn't.
Decades later, Danny has built an international career in physical theatre and training, spanning 40 countries – from corporate boardrooms to prison cells, prestigious universities to youth detention centres, stages and performing arts academies to psychiatric wards.
But the question remains: How does someone transform the scarred anguish of abandonment and abuse into genuine, sustained meaning and purpose?
"NUMB" answers that question through visceral storytelling, hard-won wisdom, cathartic reflection, and joyful humour.
