Michael Mulvihill
Author | Psychologist | Martial Artist | Hypnotherapist

I am a multi-disciplinary creator with a unique blend of psychological expertise, creative storytelling, and a passion for martial arts. With a BA in Psychology, an MA in Addiction Studies, a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy, and certifications in Hypnotherapy, I’ve dedicated my career to exploring the human mind and understanding the complexities of human behavior.

As an author, I write horror and dystopian fiction, including my novels Siberian Hellhole and Diabolis of Dublin. I’m currently working on a dystopian novel and a vampire fiction project (Ethagoria), blending psychological insights with chilling narratives.

Outside of my writing, I hold a black belt in Kenpo and practice martial arts in a way that suits my body’s changing needs due to osteoarthritis. I believe in the power of discipline, adaptability, and consistency—values that shape both my personal and professional life.

I’m also an active content creator, sharing my thoughts on psychoanalysis, horror fiction, and creativity through my YouTube channel, TikTok, and blog (Dark Days Dawning).

Feel free to connect or reach out if you're interested in discussing psychology, horror, or any of my current projects.

Professor Ivor Browne is a distinguished figure in the world of psychiatry and psychotherapy. Known for his critical examination of conventional medical approaches, Browne has always emphasized that real change comes from within the individual. He argues that the idea of "treating" someone to change them is a profound misunderstanding in the field of medicine.

Rather, his philosophy hinges on providing support to people as they initiate their own change, a perspective influenced by his observations of therapies like insulin coma therapy.
Professor Browne noted that the perceived effectiveness of such treatments often stemmed from the creation of supportive group environments rather than the medical intervention itself. His insights underline the importance of social connections and personal agency in the therapeutic process.
