Mia had seen Liam for two sessions. They'd mainly been getting getting all the preliminary stuff out of the way. Where was she born, what symptoms she was having, all that stuff. She'd told him some about the dreams, though they'd glossed over a lot of it. She wasn't 'fixed', by any means, but the process was a lot less scary now that she'd had a session or two. She was starting to trust the guy.

She sat in the waiting room with her feet up on the table, leafing through a magazine.

"Well, if you don't, I think it's within your power to make sure that you could make it less so. It's possible he is dealing with very dark dreams as well. It's not as if these seem to often come in the flowery rainbows and sunshine variety."

Except those damn Ponies.

"And I think that the most important thing you could do is be up front with any discomfort, but deliberately take a step back from confrontation. That's in your power more than his, since the researcher is going to have to take the wheel, so to speak."

Mia nodded. "I guess there's no harm in asking." It still felt like there was, but that was probably her own discomfort coming through. But that was supposed to be a good thing, right? Pushing through that anxiety and talking about that stuff anyway.

She was probably spending too much time talking about the study, and maybe she was trying to avoid personal stuff. "He says he wants to prove the dreams aren't changing people, but.. I don't know. I think they are. Me, at least."

	The Doctor snorted. "Oh my, is that his theory? Well, he's entirely wrong then, isn't he? The dreams absolutely are." His focus was on helping people deal with the changes, not denying it. How could he, when he had two hearts beating in his chest? (Reply to this) (Parent)
