When Peter Darkwood contacted me about coaching his wife, I was seconds away from declining. It never ends well when someone reaches out on someone else’s behalf. But Peter was a psychiatrist—a man who helps people for a living—so I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
My first mistake.
His wife, a celebrated artist, had fallen into a fog of self-doubt. She’d stopped painting. Stopped socializing. Her bed had become her only companion.
Peter insisted she wasn’t clinically depressed—just stuck. She needed a nudge. I took him at his word.
My second mistake.
What started as simple coaching twisted into something sinister. I slipped inside her fractured mind and found something I was never meant to see.
Now nothing about them feels safe.
Not even me.
