The importance of being creative

​

Jack's uncompromising therapist is Doc Nyodai who became a nun at the Seigan-ji temple in Kyoto before training as a psychoanalyst in Vienna. Doc N is a keen mixed martial arts fighter, black belt in naginata-do and and award winning breeder of Lhaso Apso dogs. She also enjoys watching BattleBots on Netflix. In 2023 Doc N was the oldest person to undergo gender reassignment at a Bangkok clinic and now likes to be called  Colin outside of office hours.  She uses her knowledge for the good of humanity - with a ten percent discount for desperate writers .

 

​It was Doc N who suggested Jack start writing as part of his therapy. She told him it would release a stream of consciousness, which they could then work on together to heal his 'deep psychic wounds'. This would enable him to take that first, vital step on the hard road to self-realisation.

 

Jack:

Yep, my books are definitely about the weird stuff that keeps me up at night.
