Anatomy of Organisational Defense
Years in the boardroom, then the therapy room; the same pattern in both: people hiding parts of themselves to survive. This book brings the language of ISTDP - feeling, anxiety, defence - to the scale of organisations, where those same patterns are often called "culture", "politics", or "realism".
From Defense to Feeling
Most psychological suffering does not come from feeling; it comes from the effort to avoid feeling. A bridge between ISTDP theory, clinical skill, and lived experience in the room. "We do not fall ill from anger; we fall ill from fighting it."
The Distance We Cannot See
Four people who learned how not to be there. Their bodies were present, but when something real approached, something in them said no. A novel about that distance, and the small fractures where real change begins.
The Shadow That Follows Us
What people carry, openly or hidden. Feelings that arrive and confuse; anxiety constructed to avoid seeing; the ways we hide from ourselves without anyone having taught us how. "How much of myself must I hide for you to love me?"
The Ground That Is Not Beneath Our Feet
Migration is one of the bravest things a person can do. But something remains unchanged by any decision — to leave, to stay, to return. What you carry with you. Three people who had the courage to change and still carry something unspoken.
