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. Language is explicit, content warning: ghosts, psychic ability, rape, incest, foster care, murder, emancipation, BDSM, therapy, lightning strikes, 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.

Darlene loved a man who shared music, which I still sing. Theirs was a complex love song, with roots. Their affair, her survival, and how longing was the theme.

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.

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.
