This podcast is hosted by two First Generation American millennial therapists who are equally true crime, forensic psychology and macabre obsessed. We like to discuss mental health, mental wellness, history and everything in-between dabbling in various topics from cultural humility to military mental health, ghosts and interesting ways our parents used the paranormal to disciple us! El Cucuy, anyone?
We'll uncover the secrets, the mysteries, and the unending debates that have left us all wondering: What really happened at the bottom of that fateful staircase? In today's installment, we delve deep into one of the most perplexing and sensational cases that shook the world of true crime – the enigmatic "Staircase Murder" case of Michael Peterson and death of Kathleen Peterson.
