[And therapy office. Oh thank the Force. On the other hand-]
Well- [He grimaces a little.] I may be underqualified. But everywhere I've been lately has been thin on the ground for more qualified. [He shrugs.]
I picked up some very basic physical healing with my, um, native abilities with qualified...master healers with medical training, a little over three years ago.
And then I was in place, where there was something in the physical environment that, ah. We called it corruption and it was complicated and not completely understood, but it changed people, right down to the physical. Being emotionally unbalanced or socially isolated made people particularly vulnerable. I spent some time working in clinics there, doing both some general medical assistance, and also helping people with corruption. I used my empathic abilities to soothe and such, when best I could. I started doing a lot of reading of what I could get my hands on, with the thought that general mental well being was a good preventative for corruption.
One of the clinics was run by someone who was a licensed therapist in her world, but unfortunately I didn't get to seriously study under her before she left. Just her notes and trying to carry on her work by giving people a space to even try to tackle issues, really.
And then the last place I was, for the last year, had formal schools, and I basically went through the first year of a medical degree with a focus on mental health.
I also teach meditation, in a range of styles. It's a big focus in general Jedi training, to help us gain control over our psychic abilities. But I've taught plenty of non-psychics. It's not a cure-all, I know, but any tool in the toolbox that works, right?
