When her dog was killed under the watch of negligent sitters and her public search for the truth was met with a million-dollar defamation suit, the hyper-independent identity she'd built collapsed into a full nervous-system shutdown. What she found on the far side reorders what the healing world sells: that catharsis and spiritual platitudes bypass the actual human being, that real repair happens in slow, subtle shifts at the edge of your capacity, that horses — who cannot lie and demand congruence — can lead you back to yourself. She comes out of it more human than she's ever been: cracked open, undefended, and more alive than ever.
