Legacy Power: A Dossier of a Stranger, a Familiarity, a Patient
"Therapy starts with a stranger, and ends with a friend."
A 1 Gift Investigate Individual Power used by Jackson Friedman, created by T3K.
Description
A therapist must know their stranger inside and out. They call to get some help about some terrible memories, and they come to Jackson. They come in for a talk, sit down for a while, and let go of a few of their surface fears. The therapist takes notes, learns about the stranger in question, and ends the day off on a nice note as the stranger feels a little better.
A therapist must know their familiarity inside and out. He calls again to meet up with Jackson for some more trauma to be healed. He comes in for a conversation, sits down for a while, and lets go of some of their terrors. Jackson takes notes, writing down a portrait for the man to feel at ease. He is safe. He is thankful for the time to just talk and get things off his chest to Jackson, leaving with a smile on his face.
A therapist must know their patient inside and out. Samson, the patient, calls one last time to meet with his therapist, Jackson, to reveal his deepest trauma. Samson arrive, and talks about his childhood, reeked with bullying and abuse. Jackson finally finishes his portrait, and new information enters his mind. He writes it down under the life-like black and white, a light glow dissipating as the ink from his quill sends shivers through the paper. Samson finally feels at ease, letting his therapist know about his troubles. Jackson is happy to see that not only is Samson happy, but to see that the information about his traumas are, though mostly still there, partially erased thanks to the smile on Samson's face. Samson leaves, happy. Jackson's face, however, remains stagnant.
