Audio clip from the wilderness - Mama & the frontier of Walla Walla, and us, just enjoy our time together. I have a long drive ahead, a parrot that *definitely* demands attention (He's on his back, playing with plastic toys, while this is recorded, or on my shoulder. Honest, he's more relaxed than he sounds!), and a tawny pug, snorting here & there, for spice.

Audio clip: mom and I spend a few more hours, wishing I didn't have to drive home to work for the week. We'd hide out in that single wide all the time, if they'd let us. Southwestern Oregon timber town, the audio was taken twenty-ish years ago, from a VHS recording.

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.
Picture inset: This is me, so many years ago, standing in front of my mother's Impala, and the House on Valencia Street.
