Ghubari nodded slightly, even as her eyes were shifting and the facial expressions changed with her pondering thoughts. “So, bear with me here while I try to really understand how this works. The person, the… patient, puts on the device and they… relive their experience? Or is the experience is projected externally? Like, how would you and Janna monitor and guide this process?”

Laraan nodded. “Yes they relieve the experience and the counselor can see what the patient sees as well. The device takes the memories from the patient and projects them holographically. Of course that means that sometimes they are not exactly what happened, but how the patient perceived and remembers it. The counselor wears the paired device and can decide how to counsel the patient through it. Either by changing the course of events, or by appearing in the holoprojection herself and counseling the patient through the experience. I usually did the second one, it depends on what the patient prefers. Some also simply want to relive it with the counselor watching, so that afterwards they can talk with the counselor about it and finally put it to rest.” she explained.

Janna had leaned forward, listening with rapt curiosity. It was a very interesting option and played along her own preferences of tackling the difficult experiences as a separate entity but one connected deeply to the patient. “Is it safe? I mean, obviously it is for Heleen, but what are the possible risks and side effects on other species. We have an incredibly diverse crew and while I am all for testing this out, I want to make sure our patients can give true informed consent.”
