... I suppose my timing is better than I thought it was, who would have ever guessed?

Anyway, I feel I should at least put the information out there in case it becomes necessary. My name is Tsunade Senju and I'm... your therapist here, now. I was going to come sooner than this, but I had a mage I needed to finish studying with before I could do as such.

And before anyone asks, I call myself a therapist instead of a psychiatrist merely as a formality matter and those that care about the medical field as the non-magical humans use. I don't have a degree in that, of course, but I do have training specifically in healing both physical to an extent (I don't want to step on the nurse's toes, that's hardly my intention) as well as with psychiatric conditions.

My door is open as is needed and I'm rather easy to contact if I happen to not be there at a time when needed.

Feel free to ask any questions if you'd like, I'm a fairly open book.

Dude, shut up! You're a therapist?

Are you offering lessons? I mean, I' not going into it as a career track or anything? But usually when I'm fighting I try to work out why someone's causing problems, and try to help them work out a solution to it that doesn't involve violence. I like to think I've gotten pretty good at it, but I can always be better.

[eyes_are_uphere]

[Huh. That's not at all the answer or question she expected to get, but it's honestly a bit refreshing to hear it.]

I'm not really much of a teacher at this point, nor do I think they'd want me teaching. But it... depends on what you want to learn from it? It's taken a good number of years for me to get through the intricacies of it and even then I can't reach everyone that I'd like to. Though it might be better to have this conversation in person than on the network?

[partiallysquirrelblood]

Mostly just getting better at convincing people who think hurting other people or themselves is going to solve their problems that it isn't going to solve their problems?

I mean, I know sometimes I'm going to have to punch a dude no matter what. I'm good at punching dudes! But I like helping people in general, and sometimes punching dudes doesn't help.

But yeah, we should talk about this in person. Is there a time you'd want to do this? I don't want to take any away from your patients.

[eyes_are_uphere]

Oh boy, well, at least the reason behind it's noble. But I think I can at least teach you a thing or two on figuring out why or how someone does what they do. Changing a behavior is a little different and depends on the person and situation, but the basics shouldn't be too hard.

I get it, though. And, honestly, given how this place is already seeming to shake up, just come by whenever you'd like. If I'm busy, then it'll be clearly indicated on the door. At the moment I only have one long term, so my schedule is pretty free.

Itll be good to see you again Dr Senju

[eyes_are_uphere]

At least I'll be in one place that's easy to find this time, hm?

[infestedcouncilpresident]

No more worrying about accidentally calling you at 2am local time

[eyes_are_uphere]

I mean, it wouldn't have been that big of a deal. I keep odd enough hours as it is that I'd probably have been awake.

[infestedcouncilpresident]

Better you than me I guess

How is France working out for you?

[tsuns]

any questions??

ok do you have that patient doctor constitutionality shit going on?

[eyes_are_uphere]

... Do you mean confidentiality? Because yes, I do.

[suddenlybees]

[ A therapist... He needed one ten years ago, perhaps even earlier than that, and none so much as he does right now. But it's a bit too late for that now, he thinks, at least for him. It's good that one is available for the students and staff though; he hopes Tsunade is a good grief counselor. ]

LOL good luck~!
But hi! Yes! Me!!
I have a question~

[eyes_are_uphere]

[Grief is something she's more than familiar with, luckily, so it shouldn't be too difficult. Though she's starting to think that she might have a harder time getting anyone to talk to her than she thought she would have.

Oh well.]

Can't do much help if I don't let them know it's there. And what is it?

[suddenlybees]

[ Yeah, people here are very bad at talking, and Kano's the same way, careful to phrase his words as general questions fueled by curiosity rather than the need for personal advice. Most of it really is just curiosity, anyways, preferring concrete tools over abstract help. ]

Hmm, hmmm~
It's more of an opinion, really!
I'd like your professional opinion!!
On shock therapy and exposure therapy and the such~
Say you've got two months to fix things!!
What method would you use?

[eyes_are_uphere]

[People can be honest with her, but she's not expecting much at this point.]

Shock therapy is more or less barbaric unless in very specific circumstances and under the direct supervision of a physician. Exposure therapy is also something that is rarely, if ever, an option on the table for me.

Also depends on what the situation is, as far as background of this patient goes, as well as why I only have two months. Can't answer a hypothetical without some more information.

[suddenlybees]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm
So if I'm interested in making shock therapy a thing, I should be speaking with Hieke?
I bet Ekkehardt would also give it a go if I asked real nice~
Two months was a generous estimate!!!!!
I'll try shock therapy first, thanks!!!!!!!

hello doctor senju!
i stopped going to therapy in march
and maybe it was a bad idea
so you can take over right?
i think the other guy quit!

[eyes_are_uphere]

If you don't mind having to start from the beginning again, sure, that's something I can absolutely do. Since I don't think there were any records left here that would really give me any information on anyone that was seeing someone before I got here. As it stands right now, I seem to have more free time than I thought I would.

[yokeye]

there's no beginning to re-start from!
that issue is gone! it was one thing they helped with!
so i'll stop by sometime then!

[eyes_are_uphere]

Huh, well, that's good to hear at least. Feel free to stop by whenever you want to, I should be around in some capacity.

[yokeye]

[Less than an hour later, he's knocking on the door of her office. He might as well start now. It may take until Nightfall to figure out what the problem is.]

[nevernoaction]

A therapist? So you only listen to people who have a lot of problems in their lives?

[Says someone who is unknowingly ripe for therapy.]

[eyes_are_uphere]

Nah, I listen to anyone that wants to talk or needs some help or advice. Technically a therapist, but I dabble in other areas of things if someone wants me to.

[nevernoaction]

Other things? Like what?

[eyes_are_uphere]

I'm a mage, I've studied numerous things in and outside of dealing with mental and emotional problems. Also come from a particular kind of mage group that tends to... well, let's just say ninjas in history aren't entirely gone, though are far different from what previous writings for normal humans say about them.
