A therapy retreat, buried secrets and a “therapy thriller” that blurs the line between self-help and suspense…

If you love crime, psychology and a bit of “why are they all so shifty?” energy, this one’s for you.

Today I’m giving away a copy of The Process by Robbie Steinhouse – a new “therapy thriller” set on the wild North Devon coast, where a group therapy retreat turns into something much darker.

What is The Process about?

Welcome to The Process, a therapy retreat on the North Devon coast. Five delegates have arrived, each carrying their own tangled backstory:

• David – a hotshot lawyer who still feels like an outsider, no matter how “successful” he looks.
• Sujitha – a seasoned German traveller who feels like she doesn’t quite belong in her own country.
• Sheila – a middle-aged executive with a habit of falling for charming, narcissistic men.
• Nathan – appears totally “together”… but no one is at a therapy retreat by accident.
• Lola – trying to balance independence with the expectations of her traditional British Asian family.
• Louise, the therapist – calm, capable and in control… or at least that’s the image she projects.

And then there’s Jacob, the mysterious creator of The Process itself – a man whose dark past is finally catching up with him as technology starts revealing the things he thought were safely buried. What happens when the worlds of therapy, power and secrecy collide?

Therapy meets thriller

The Process is described as a “therapy thriller” – a mash-up of:

• a pacey, atmospheric crime-style story, and
• real psychological tools woven into the plot.

At the heart of the book is a therapeutic approach called Rescripting, based on the idea of Life Scripts – the unconscious stories we write about ourselves in childhood and then keep acting out as adults. The premise is that when we can spot those old scripts, we can rewrite them and choose something kinder, healthier and more hopeful for ourselves.

So instead of a dry self-help manual, you get:

• a gripping retreat-gone-wrong vibe
• characters working through very relatable patterns
• genuine mental health insights tucked into the twists and reveals

Endorsements have called the book “smart and unsettling” and praised its mix of intrigue and psychological depth – perfect if you enjoy fiction that makes you think about why people do what they do as much as what they’ve done.
