What Holds
Fiona Brennan had been managing for twenty-three years. Walls and filters and careful discipline holding back the transparency she gained when she crossed through her own door. Then one morning she woke up and the management stopped working.
She could hear electricity in the walls again. See through every face she passed. Feel the pressure of other people's inner lives pressing against boundaries that no longer existed.
For two decades she taught others how to survive what she had survived. Now her own techniques were failing and she had no one to turn to except Martin Sullivan. The man she had helped come back from Teorainn. The man who had found a different way to live inside the seeing.
He does not offer her frameworks or protocols. He offers her the practice. The riding. The motion that metabolizes what the mind cannot contain.
In a frozen creek in the middle of the forest, everything she built finally collapses.

About the Author
Mike Finn, PhD
I am a clinical psychologist with deep interest in phenomenology and existential psychology. I am a psychotherapist by day and a writer by night. Sci-fi but phenomenology (study of experience) as the "sci" part has been a fascinating area to work in and has allowed for free exploration and processing of ideas or experiences I have experience or encountered.View all Audiobooks by Mike Finn, PhD
