Non-fiction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Understanding AuDHD (4th edition)<\/strong>\u00a0Completely rewritten. The science moved, the community moved, and the book moved with them. Fifteen chapters and six appendices built from the ground up on current research, emerging neurodivergent voices, and the things the earlier editions didn’t go far enough on. The core argument is sharper: AuDHD is an emergent neurological profile, not two conditions in a trench coat. The DSM still disagrees. The DSM is welcome to catch up.\u00a0
Best read if\u00a0the third edition helped you recognise yourself and you’re ready for the version that fights your corner with better evidence. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Convenient Monster<\/strong>\u00a0Most public outrage focuses on villains. Monsters are easy to recognise and satisfying to condemn. Systems are slower, messier, and often implicate the people who benefit from them. So the monster becomes the explanation, and the system continues quietly doing its work.\u00a0
Best read if<\/em>\u00a0you suspect some social problems survive because the story we tell about them is more comforting than the truth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harder Than It Should Be<\/strong>\u00a0Post-2020 life quietly dismantled the invisible support systems most of us were running on: the commute that processed the day, the office that externalised memory, the ambient contact of other bodies. When the scaffolding collapsed, the deficit showed up as a mysterious personal failing. It wasn’t.\u00a0
Best read if\u00a0you keep waiting to feel like yourself again and are starting to wonder if that’s still coming.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Collapse of Knowledge<\/strong>\u00a0More 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\u00a0you’re tired of hot takes and would like a calmer relationship with what counts as true. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s the Circumstances<\/strong>\u00a0Sometimes 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.\u00a0
Best read if\u00a0you suspect you’re reacting normally to an abnormal set of demands. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Misdiagnosed<\/strong>\u00a0When psychiatry mistakes neurodivergence for mental illness. Not a put-down of psychiatrists: most are doing their best with what they have. But the diagnostic tools haven’t kept pace with what’s actually known.\u00a0
Best read if your psychiatrist is frustrated that you’re not responding to treatment the way the DSM expects. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Augmented Psychologist<\/strong>\u00a0Technology 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\u00a0you’re curious about AI, but you’d like to stay human on purpose. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re Not Imagining It, It IS This Weird<\/strong>\u00a0If 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\u00a0you feel like a functional adult on paper but privately exhausted by the whole arrangement. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embracing Neurodiversity<\/strong>\u00a0For 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.\u00a0
Best read if\u00a0you’re tired of being treated like a problem to be fixed. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding AuDHD<\/strong>\u00a0Autism 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.\u00a0
Best read if\u00a0you relate to both autism and ADHD explanations, but neither has ever felt like the whole story. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living with Bipolar II<\/strong>\u00a0Bipolar 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.\u00a0
Best read if\u00a0your mood shifts are disruptive but subtle enough that people dismiss them, including you. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding Your Way Back<\/strong>\u00a0Trauma recovery served without clinical distance or motivational poster energy. A map for people who have been through something, know it changed them, and want an honest account of what the path back actually looks like.\u00a0
Best read if\u00a0you’ve been waiting for someone to describe your experience accurately before offering to help with it. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Build Successful Relationships<\/strong>\u00a0Relationships don’t collapse because people don’t care. They collapse under unspoken pressure, mismatched wiring, and the accumulated weight of things nobody quite managed to say. Practical psychology for real relationships, especially when stress, culture, and fatigue are already in the room.\u00a0
Best read if\u00a0you want closeness that survives real life, not just holidays and good intentions. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Expat Psychologist novels<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These novels follow the mental unravelling of a sixty-something Australian expat psychologist living in \u0110\u00e0 L\u1ea1t. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fracture<\/strong>\u00a0Fracture 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.\u00a0
Best read if\u00a0you prefer your breakdowns gradual, believable, and quietly terrifying.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memory<\/strong>\u00a0After 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.\u00a0
Best read if\u00a0you’re drawn to stories where the real antagonist is the mind trying to protect itself. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tremor<\/strong>\u00a0Professor Whitaker has built six months of careful stability in \u0110\u00e0 L\u1ea1t. 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.\u00a0
Best read if\u00a0you know what it is to construct a careful life and feel it start to slip at the edges. <\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
