Psychology that takes your side

01

The Collapse of Knowledge

More information than ever, less confidence in what to trust. A book for people who feel intelligent but increasingly unsure, and want a way to think clearly without borrowing certainty from louder voices.

Best read if you’re tired of hot takes and would like a calmer relationship with what counts as true.

02

It’s the Circumstances

Sometimes the problem isn’t resilience, insight, or childhood. It’s the situation you’re trying to survive. A grounded, slightly heretical take on depression that treats context as real and causal, not a footnote.

Best read if you suspect you’re reacting normally to an abnormal set of demands.

03

Misdiagnosed

When psychiatry mistakes neurodivergence for mental illness. Not a putdown of psychiatrists — most are doing their best with what they have. But the diagnostic tools haven’t kept pace with what’s actually known.

Best read if your psychiatrist is frustrated that you’re not responding to treatment the way the DSM expects.

04

The Augmented Psychologist

Technology doesn’t replace the human parts of psychology. It pressurises them. For clinicians and thoughtful clients who want to work with AI without outsourcing judgement, ethics, or responsibility.

Best read if you’re curious about AI, but you’d like to stay human on purpose.

05

You’re Not Imagining It, It IS This Weird

If modern life feels subtly hostile to your nervous system, you’re not alone and you’re not weak. A grounded companion for people tired of being told to optimise themselves out of exhaustion.

Best read if you feel like a functional adult on paper but privately exhausted by the whole arrangement.

06

Embracing Neurodiversity

For people who have spent years adapting, masking, and self-correcting without knowing why it costs so much. Relief from deficit thinking and the exhausting assumption that the problem is always you, not the environment built around you.

Best read if you’re tired of being treated like a problem to be fixed.

07

Understanding AuDHD

Autism and ADHD together can look like contradiction: too much and not enough, all at once. A clear map for adults who were missed, misread, or told for decades to try harder — and who suspected there was a better explanation.

Best read if you relate to both autism and ADHD explanations, but neither has ever felt like the whole story.

08

Living with Bipolar II

Bipolar II is often mistaken for temperament, personality, or poor self-control. Clear, steady guidance for recognising patterns early and building stability without flattening your inner life.

Best read if your mood shifts are disruptive but subtle enough that people dismiss them, including you.

Fiction

The Expat Psychologist novels

A planned nine-book series following the mental unravelling of a sixty-something Australian expat psychologist living in Đà Lạt, Vietnam. They trace what happens when professional insight meets nervous system collapse, memory fracture, and the slow erosion of certainty. Any resemblance to lived experience is, of course, entirely coincidental. Three books are available now. Paid subscribers receive each new instalment on publication.

09

Fracture

Fracture is what happens before anyone admits something is broken. A psychological novel about slow collapse, professional identity, and the moment insight proves powerless against a body that has reached its limit.

Best read if you prefer your breakdowns gradual, believable, and quietly terrifying.

10

Memory

After collapse, memory stops behaving politely. It loops, intrudes, vanishes at the wrong time, and returns without permission. A psychological novel about what survives after rupture, and how the past keeps rewriting the present.

Best read if you’re drawn to stories where the real antagonist is the mind trying to protect itself.

11

Tremor

Professor Whitaker has built six months of careful stability in Đà Lạt. Then his hand starts shaking. Keys appear in the refrigerator with no memory of how they got there. The third novel follows a man expert at diagnosing others who cannot see what is beginning to happen to him.

Best read if you know what it is to construct a careful life and feel it start to slip at the edges.
