b'Hey Tanner Fans,\\n\\nAngela Bowen here, the host of Oh My Lanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast\\n\\n\\u202aHey Tanner Fans,\\u202c \\u202aToday, I covered Full House S3E11: Aftershocks, which aired on December 8, 1989.\\n\\n\\u202c \\u202aIn this episode an earthquake hits the Tanner home and Stephanie is struggling with the constant fear of losing her father.\\u202c \\u202a\\n\\nI\\u2019m going to be honest, this episode is not your usual light and fluffy fun Full House Episode, the episode focuses on one of the main character\\u2019s of the show, middle child 8 year old Stephanie played by Jodie Sweetin who is suffering from PTSD due a recent earthquake.\\n\\nThis is a side of Stephanie we have never seen before. While everyone else has moved on from this event Stephanie can\\u2019t move forward, living with the day to day constant fear of losing her father. This was all set in motion when Danny was 3 hours late the day of the earthquake and the family was unable to get a hold of him.\\n\\nStephanie begins to follow her father around the house, sleeping in his bed so she can make sure he\\u2019s ok and knowing where he is at all times, she asks to come to work with him and when he refuses, she invites him to school.\\n\\nJesse and Joey voice their concerns of Steph\\u2019s clinginess to Danny who brushes it off and chalks it up to simple adoration.\\n\\nWhen Danny has to leave the house to go to a no kids allowed work dinner Stephanie breaks down begging Danny not to leave. Now he is faced with the fact that something is seriously wrong with Stephanie.\\n\\nJoey and Jesse tell Danny this problem with Stephanie is not going away and it\\u2019s getting worse, he needs to seek professional help. I understand Danny\\u2019s hesitation, admitting outside help for him probably makes him feel like he\\u2019s failing as a father.\\n\\nLuckily, a child psychologist is able to help diagnose Stephanie\\u2019s fears through a family picture Stephanie drew and they put together a list of how to cope and move forward in the healing process.\\n\\nI feel Stephanie\\u2019s fear of losing Danny also stems from the fact that she lost her mother. The only piece of info we have from that day is in an episode of Fuller House where DJ mentions that Stephanie hid in her room and refused to come out when she learned of Pan\\u2019s death.\\n\\nI wanted to cover this episode, because of what\\u2019s currently going on in California, and the effects that earthquakes can have on people. The physical and the mental aspects. We all handle trauma in our own way. PTSD is real. You can\\u2019t run from it and you can\\u2019t deny it.\\n\\nJodie Sweetin knocked it out of the park with her acting.\\n\\nMy heart goes out to you California.\\u202c\\n\\nHave a great week everyone and be safe!'
