Someone with one who is familiar with alternatives can also be a pro, this is not something a friend wants to take on solo for sure. What I was trying to say is getting her to do something is better than telling her the only thing available is the thing she doesn't want. Sometimes if you can get a person in to talk to a trained counselor who finds something that helps - not speciifically the thing I suggested, I'm just using it as an example- and the person relaxes a little because they start to see a choice and the choice is theirs, they open up to other ideas about what they could do.
