The Process

by Robbie Steinhouse

Welcome to The Process, a therapy retreat on the North Devon Coast.

Five delegates have assembled to face up to their issues. David, a hotshot lawyer, must overcome the perpetual sense that he is an outsider. Sujitha, a veteran German traveler, is an outsider too–in her home country. Sheila, a middle-aged executive, keeps on falling for charming but narcissistic men. Nathan appears to be totally ‘together’–what is his problem? Lola needs to balance her desire for independence with her traditional British Asian family. Louise, the therapist, who has risen from poor roots in Brooklyn, seems totally in control–but does she have her own unresolved issues too?

And alongside them is Jacob, the mysterious creator of The Process, whose dark past has up until now, been largely undetected. But technological changes are fast catching up with the other side to his ‘creativity’. What will happen if his two worlds collide?

His problem being that his beloved wife and child died and he doesn't want another relationship. So he becomes a sperm donor (for his own gene company) meanwhile, at an idyllic retreat in Devon a disparate group of people are being coached to find a more positive approach to their future...
