AFFAIRYTALES

My story of loss and grief. A mix of memoir, clinical description and self help advice. I describe the events as I experience them, and then observe myself as a therapist, explaining what is happening and strategies to cope.

A sample of the full story is available as an e-book. The full print publication is coming! Sign up to be notified when it’s released.

AffairyTales - Once Upon A Time (e-book) describes my story of initial discovery and the challenges in my immediate reaction. It includes clinical advice on what to consider in deciding who to tell, a normal response to the trauma of discovery, strategies for coping with intense emotions, the role of cognitive dissonance, and tips for self-care in the immediate after-math of the unexpected. Available for purchase now on Amazon.

The interview, including a brief excerpt from Book One, is available on the Humber School for Writers podcast Love and Defiance on Spotify.
