2. I'm so sorry, my dear Tobin...

The holidays are supposed to be happy times, and sometimes the pressure of "supposed to" can make things worse.

I remember a long time ago when I needed such a therapist, and a friend told me about a mental health clinic where people who were becoming marriage and family therapists did talk therapy. But the cool thing was the fees were on a sliding scale. You paid what you could afford to pay. This was because the therapists were students nearing the end of their training, and were working under the supervision of licensed therapists. It was a great setup.

There might be such a place near your sister. I don't know how you go about finding such a place, I'm sorry to say.

I hope she can get some help.
