"Violent...sorrowful...scared...vengeful."
The Counselor turned toward her patient. She knew that he was full of hurt. She also knew that he was going to have to direct that toward something besides revenge or he was going to ruin his life.
"David, how would you like to respond to your father's description of your feelings?"
"How am I supposed to respond??? I'm Starfleet's #1 lawyer and I can't prosecute this major case because I'm too damned scared to back and gather evidence..." he stood and began to pace...his fists were pumping at his side, "Of course...that's because I was tortured...and abused. I could easily have that bastard taken out...and if you have to report that I will accept it. I can't walk this line anymore....I can't be in crowds anymore because someone drops something I think its someone shooting at me..." His rage was building..."That bastard has RUINED ME!!!! RUINED ME!!!!" He yelled to no one in particular.
A wave of sadness flowed through Joanna as she listened to David speak. He was still a broken man, that much was clear. "David, you are going to get through this. The fact that you seeked help from your father," she said as she indicated the holoimage of the Admiral, " is indicative of the fact that you are working to resolve the problems in a healthy way rather than striking out at those who hurt you."

"You mentioned that you were worried you might not be able to complete your duties while you are dealing with what has happened. Do you think you should take a leave of absence?"
