Once you have someone willing to talk it is time for you to listen. Keep them talking with pointed questions to help them get to the root of their problem. This is where the counselor does her most to help, and often everyone will learn something new about the character in question. Finally when the root of the problem is found the character and the Counselor can discuss ways to make improvements. Sometimes one of these session may be enough to resolve the problem. It may also take many sessions and lots of conversations to reach a resolution. | Once you have someone willing to talk it is time for you to listen.

==On the bridge== | |||
Beyond the counselor's office, there are many opportunities to get involved with the crew, and operation of the vessel during a crisis. Talk to your Command Officer and ask them if allowing your character to traing as a backup Medical, Helm, Com, or Operations officer would be allowed. | |||
Similarly, a counselor's understanding of psychology, and conflict, can be of great use on the bridge or in the conference room during negotiations or tense moments. Again, speak with your Commanding Officer about ways in which you can help during contact situations between your vessel and others. Like [[ma:Deanna Troi|Deanna Troi]], the Captain may find you a valuable sounding-board for their ideas. | |||
