31. "Freak."

Journalists bring the 5 W's to talk words on molested Mormon kids. This adult kid, has thoughts, from the inside of the beast. A scene from the series "POSE", illustrates what listening, felt like. How healing happens better together, when we adjust a bit.

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.

Language is explicit, Content 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.
