a question for everyone on the network [video]

Apparently there's something called psychology. And applying it is tricky, because of cultural differences, and such. Yes?

If there's one thing we have in abundance, it's cultural difference. So it might not be so simple to offer psychological help at our clinic.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

But an incompetent healer can cause damage, or exacerbate it, and that's the last thing I want.

So. [The preamble having been finished, he leans back in his chair.] Exsilium network. Tell me what psychology entails in your world. The idea of it, and also the practice of it. If your world has that, or something like it, I mean, and doesn't just chalk it all up to demons.

And how were you planning on convincing people to trust a near stranger with their minds? Where I'm from there are professional...guilds, I suppose you could call them, for therapists, that have the power to certify and discipline their members. There's no such accountability here.

[Not that Emma cares at all about accountability, but this is a public transmission, and it's better to hide her general opportunistic amorality when people are watching.]
