Psychology Series 1: How the Spine Remembers
What if the body archives the truths the mind forgets?
At 21, Aisya Inea Lumaya Salvatera has mastered the art of control. A psychology student on the cusp of graduation, she’s well-versed in theories of memory, trauma, and the self. But when she joins a psychological research experiment involving a mysterious dating app, she’s paired with Silas Oro Velez Manzael, a 26-year-old civil engineer having his first huge project at a small city where Nea studies—and everything she thought she knew begins to slip.
What starts as an academic exercise in digital intimacy turns into something far more real. Silas becomes more than a participant; he becomes a mirror, a trigger, a tether. As their connection deepens, Aisya finds herself confronting the one subject she’s never dared to analyze: her own past.
Told with aching precision and woven with somatic memory and psychological insight, How the Spine Remembers follows a young woman’s journey through love, loss, and the science of survival. Each chapter opens a developmental doorway into her childhood, revealing how the body—like the spine—bends, breaks, and sometimes heals in silence.
In a world that insists we move on, this novel asks:
What if remembering is the bravest thing we can do?
