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.

175. Hair

A finger slowly circling, through a curl of hair, over and over. Darlene's habit, and my own. A soother, and a symptom. When our fidgeting offer fickle clues to what happened, before. Also in BDSM dating land... kink may complicate the sorting.

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.
