Coping Strategies

Resource Mission 3RM 2168-14-01
Mandatory Psych Evaluation

PSYCH PROGRAM:
Please state your name and corporation personal identification number.

CLIENT:
Carter Stevens, CPI number 862 544 * 94

PSYCH PROGRAM:
You have been called in for a MSE Psych scan and review.
Please lean your head back into the scanning dock and relax.

CLIENT:
I would like to know why I have been called in.

PSYCH PROGRAM:
Our scans showed that during the travel period of your most recent resource mission your mind showed brain activity while in hibernation. We would like to know if you experienced any dream activity.

CLIENT:
Dream activity, are you fucking serious?

PSYCH PROGRAM:
It's okay. We all have moments of frustration. Please calm yourself and start by stating any recollection you may have from the mission.

CLIENT:
In the middle of this chaos, I feel like a pleaser, a motor eraser with a big red dot like a heat sync. Like a deranged ghostwriter.

PSYCH PROGRAM:
It sounds like you have some unique ideas and imagery on your mind. Could you tell me more about these feelings?

CLIENT:
Ah, sure. Fever pitch, real twitch, twitchy... it's like my pulse is racing, and I'm feeling hyper-sexual. I keep questioning everything, and it's like every road leads to some kind of burning animal.

PSYCH PROGRAM:
It's evident that you're feeling overwhelmed. Let's try to explore what might be contributing to these emotions and thoughts.

CLIENT:
It's just... I feel so disconnected from my body. It's too much, and I feel so lonely.

PSYCH PROGRAM:
I can see that you're struggling with these emotions and body image concerns. We can explore coping strategies together to help you feel more grounded.
