Couples Counselling For Youngsters
My sister Alice is younger to me by two years. I am seventeen now. Alice had a close friend, Shelly and they were quite inseparable. About a year ago, my mother and I started noticing a change in Alice's behaviour and nature. From being a happy and exuberant person, she suddenly withdrew into herself and became very quiet. We thought it was a passing phase and ignored it for a time.
When the condition worsened, we took her to a couples counseling who found out the reason for her behaviour. Apparently, her friend Shelly had become close to another classmate which resulted in jealousy that my sister could not handle. After two months of continuous therapy sessions, Alice is back to her normal self and Shelly, Alice and their new found friend are a very cheerful and happy threesome now.
