This is an excellent reply. However, does she really want more constructive ideas? Cognitive therapy would help - but that focuses on actually changing. Effective therapy is not just listening and "understanding." One "therapy" is to volunteer - get out of yourself. Just do it. Tutor at a local school, volunteer at a community center or at a hospital or food pantry. Schedule this. So many opportunities to help others, instead of endlessly trying to find ever more therapy. But that takes effort; it is hard at first, no doubt about it. Willingness. No excuses.
