I'm probably not the best person to give advice on how to open someone up. If it were me, I'd just keep pushing until she started talking. But that could push her away, too. So, I don't know. Maybe it's a matter of finding the balance -- between urging her to open up and respecting her... emotional privacy? Is that a thing?
Cordelia was really good at that sort of thing. Too bad she's not here. She would've been a lot more help.
