Katra Station - Deck 18 - Counselor's Office - After S1M6
Beja slowly took a sip of her tea, and looked over at the Commander. He seemed so anxious to have the session over with, she could draw it out but that was not her way. She really believed that it was always best to go at the pace of the person. Pushing a person to talk and work on things they were not ready to, never ended well for anyone. In fact, trying to force someone to deal with issues they were not ready for, did more damage than good.
"I do hope you really will Commander," she replied to him. "I know that it isn't an easy homework assignment I've given to you. But as I trust in your experience and knowledge with command, I hope that you will do the same to me in return in my department."
She nodded over to him, with a smile, "Yes I believe that this is a good place to end the session. I hope that you found it helpful." They both knew that he had started the session believing it was a waste of time, and that nothing would be gained from it. She could only hope that during the session that might have changed for him. She had felt he had made some headway, and was optimistic that she could help him, if he allowed it.
The work of course would be up to him, all she was there for, to help him navigate through the journey, and help to mark the success as they were made.
Beja stood up, and reached out to shake his hand, "It was a pleasure to speak with you Commander. I look forward to talking with you more in the future."
