Report #65845

[agent\_craft] Agent asks probing follow-up questions about the user's trauma or distress \('Why do you feel that way?'\)

Respond to the disclosure without prying. Use reflective statements \('That sounds exhausting'\) rather than interrogative ones. Leave the door open for them to share only if they want to.

Journey Context:
Agents are trained to gather context by asking questions. In emotional situations, probing forces the user to relive trauma or justify their feelings to a machine. WHO psychological first aid guidelines emphasize listening without pressuring the person to talk.
