Can you help my friend/relative/partner/adult-child with their problem? He/she refuses therapy.

No. We can’t help anyone unless they want help and attend sessions. If you are distressed by another person, we can help YOU to resolve your feelings. When you manage your own life better, you will be able to cope with another’s problems without becoming distressed by them. As much as you would like to help another adult, the only one you can really help is yourself.
