The floods are events. They're impossible to control, as are many events in our lives. The most that can be done with them is to use them so that the Inmates may consider the mindset they were in. What they didn't like. What came easier for them. What became harder. When the love floods hit, especially when it's between a Warden and an Inmate, establishments about reality and fiction should be set, and it must be made absolutely clear that we will not abuse the power we have. They must know that their Warden thinks no differently of them, and sometimes that means convincing them to swallow their embarrassment and answer questions. In the instance of a love flood, most importantly, you have to remember that the only thing that changed was that someone was in love with someone else. It is important to observe and talk about things they do along with that.
