"They come here into my spirit room [and] we have a conversation first because people always have a reason why they come," the Celebrity Exorcism host began.
In Sister of Darkness, Rachel reveals that a majority of her clients have already gone through a laundry list of healing and self-care treatments. Having tried everything from therapy to medication, these exhausted individuals are desperate to rid themselves of an all-consuming dark sensation.
"[The client will] tell me what I call the 'branches,' while the spirits will say something, that's the 'root,'" Rachel continued. We're sure you twisted readers are waiting for spinning heads and spider-walk shenanigans, but said theatrics aren't typical.
"They'll [say] 'I'm stuck in my work. I can't conceive. I have addiction issues.' It's a lot of different things. It's not always like 'I have entities.' ... And Spirit will say, 'Okay, they're here because they can't conceive, but actually what we need to root out is the trauma that they had with their mother that's stopping their body from doing so.'"
Mommy issues are certainly lethal.
"For [the client], it's very easy for the most part, unless they've been through a lot of trauma."
While the client has their eyes shut, Rachel gets to work. "There's a little bit of pain, a little bit of pressure. I have to touch people a few times to literally pull things from the body. But it's not a dance. It's not a show," she explained.
Nevertheless, spooky stuff does occasionally unfold in Rachel's Los Angeles-based spirit room.
"The back door will open on its own or something will fall. That's just spirits kind of moving through the space. But overall, it's pretty chill. Unless it's something very malevolent," she explained.
Don't worry, though, the most dangerous entities target "world-changers."
"They don't just go into whoever on a farm unless that person on a farm is going to be a world-changer. Because something that intelligent and malevolent ain't going to spend its time doing that," she stated. "Every movie gets that wrong."
