"Hungry Ghosts" - mingle with the rest of us, these days. Mental health, Gabor Maté, addiction and trauma. Suicide / overdose deaths, are now running concurrent # wise, to COVID death #s, due to COVID isolation /depression. Hope, and cope, here. Also, The Good Stepdad, rewires a few sockets, mayhem ensues. Commencement, too many fresh strawberry sundaes, being accepted as LGBTQIA+ by straight folk. Love. Lots of it.

NOTES:
Haunted apartment? Leona confirmed - a man HAD died in my old apartment, #13, {although they called it #14, due to superstition}. My sister and I, were right, and the property rental agency, was wrong. Leona had lived there since it was built, and remembered the man who passed.... I may discuss that ghost another episode... dark energy though, so might pause. I appreciate the contrast.

POD DESCRIPTION:
This is The House on Valencia Street. This is a place where ghosts & psychics, with PTSD, exist, & 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.
This podcast is intended for entertainment purposes only, and I am a commentator. USE YOUR DISCERNMENT. Language is explicit. Names may or may not be changed, to protect some. Content Warning: ghosts, psychic ability, rape, incest, foster care, murder, emancipation, BDSM, therapy, lightning strikes, personal responsibility, Buddhism, LGBTQIA+, recovery, codependency, comedy, domestic violence - and inappropriate humor, most likely.
