Barb explains how she and her team approaches crossover work with “paranormal social work.” 7:03

“It’s not a natural thing to have a ghost in our homes.” “My team’s approach has always been, from the very beginning, to see what we could do to help the ghost make a different choice than the one they made at the time that they died, and move on to the Other Side.” 10:35

Crossover work is highly individualized. 11:06
