To be honest, I may care deeply about Noriko... but I'd recommend not exposing yourself too often to her, anyway.

Her presence is bigger than she actively realizes at times, and it can influence others. A good first step is to try to minimize external influences that you, yourself, are not allowing to occur.

However... Depending on what you want to learn, maybe there are people out there who have had to learn such things through experience, instead of being born or chosen into having that power?
