Timber — Ty Hutchinson

When life coaching goes terribly wrong.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.Are you ready to get coached?
