This episode rounds out the experience of channeling the dead spirits of a grandma, and a grandpa, loving their grandkid. They warn my friend, he's in danger. And he was, as time later revealed.
The header of this ep, I mention Arm Chair Expert with Dax Shepard, and I call him Zach. My apologies. Also, still recovering from the 2nd Pfizer vaccine shot a few days ago, and still having physical symptoms, thus your patience is appreciated.

POD DESCRIPTION:
This is the House on Valencia Street. This is a place where ghosts and psychics, with PTSD, exist, and I'm talking about it. Share time with a rare survivor, walking back to haunted rooms and space being claimed from long ago. This is from the survivor's perspective, communicated as I see fit, in a way that feels right, for me.
I do not offer advice here, I share what worked for me. I am not a professional therapist, this is just one case study, one perspective. Please seek professional help, if mental health issues need attention.
Language is explicit, Content Warning / Trigger Warning: ghosts, psychic ability, rape, incest, foster care, murder, emancipation, BDSM, therapy, lightning strikes, personal responsibility, Buddhism, recovery, codependency, domestic violence - and inappropriate humor, most likely.
Picture inset: This is me, so many years ago, standing in front of my mother's Impala, and the House on Valencia Street.
