Every Human Has a Story.
And at the heart of every story lies one’s personality blueprint: a collection of unique emotional patterns that are actually psychological defenses.
That’s why I wrote these books.

As a psychologist and the founder of Syrona Counseling Retreats, I’ve spent years walking with clients through the inner landscapes of their pain, their patterns, and their potential. These short, story-driven eBooks are a way to share what I’ve seen over and over in the therapy room: that healing is possible when we slow down and understand *why* we are the way we are.
Each book gives you a front-row seat to a fictional therapy intensive based on real work we do at Syrona. While every intensive is unique, these stories offer a peek into how deep therapy unfolds — with all its surprises, stuck places, breakthroughs, and quiet moments of clarity.
You’ll not only learn about common defenses (like Avoidance, Control, or People Pleasing), but also witness what it looks like to work through them.
Whether you’re considering an intensive yourself, or just curious about what makes up your personality blueprint, and what defenses your system developed, I hope these books help you feel seen, understood, and inspired. They were written with care, compassion, and a belief that even your hardest patterns had a purpose.
And there’s more to come!
