Jacob and his friend, Trish, have felt inseparable since they met. Even though they both have families and careers at this stage in their lives, they’ve both done their best to keep in touch and visit whenever possible. Despite some rough points in their friendship, for the most part, both of them have been happy to be in each other’s lives, until recently.
After an ugly argument while Trish was visiting, both friends are at odds with each other. Even though they both know that resolving the situation could be beneficial, there are a lot of hard feelings involved, and there seems to be no solid ground for them to stand on. However, Josh’s partner recommended that he and Trish try friendship therapy, in order to hash things out with a counselor. He’s uncertain, but feels like having a professional with an impartial viewpoint could be helpful for both of them.
