While she's working to toss down hay, Thellim tightbeams Melody a summary of Yfandes's report, duly attributed; Melody should check with Yfandes if she wants a fuller or more original report.

Previous Mindhealer Lancir tried to steer Vanyel away from the traumatic thoughts and memories, gave up after deciding it wouldn't help in the long run.  Lancir later tried to put cognitive-behavior-style redirects at the end of self-destructive or self-devaluing thoughts.  Lancir tried to argue Vanyel into taking better care of himself, but wasn't a professional therapist and was trying to take care of Vanyel in between trying to run half the Valdemarian faction.  Thellim's secondhand take is that Lancir tried to treat Vanyel as if he'd been through a horrific fire with painful burns and had lost his family in a way that he blamed on himself; which doesn't completely fail to map onto Vanyel's problems, but doesn't get to grips with the enormous black hole anomaly in Vanyel's brain.

Vanyel didn't like that style of Mindhealing.  Yfandes reports Vanyel feeling coerced into Mindhealing, ashamed of needing Mindhealing, and wishing like the world would just leave him alone for a while.  Thellim doesn't blame him, but thinks her people's ethicists would not say they have to listen to Vanyel's inner wish to be left alone, if Vanyel's outer self gives verbal permission and they have a new and hopefully better treatment to try.  Thellim feels mildly queasy about Yfandes having told her some of this, but will just pretend that she is a doctor herself and following a doctor's code with respect to it - just be the confidentiality-bound medical personnel that Yfandes is treating her as; though it's supposed to be a bigger deal than something you just decide to do one day.
