Exert your Mind and spend one minute. Select a Living target within 45 feet as well as a specific emotion. Roll Charisma + Performance at Difficulty 6. Affected targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 9.
If you succeed, for the next minute, your target will do things they otherwise wouldn’t have done, inspired by the chosen emotion. They will not necessarily display their emotions in an obvious way.
Actions they take may be extreme and out of character for them. They will be unlikely to change their mind about any actions taken or decisions made until after the Effect ends.

The user will begin with a series of questions aimed at uncovering the trauma and the events leading to it, after which the physical manifestation of the traumatic experience will form and the user will (hopefully) effortlessly dispatch it.
