He might need to win the patient’s trust.
Good speaking skills (clear, empathetic, nonjudgmental communication; active listening; appropriate tone and pacing) help build rapport and safety with a fearful, untrusting survivor. Organizing files and writing history are more administrative/written tasks, and prescribing medicine is not a function of speaking skills (and is typically outside a counselor’s scope).
