Read excerpt
Why Siblings Are Trying Therapy Together Elisa and Jojy explore the rising trend of sibling therapy and what it reveals about family bonds, old wounds, and lifelong loyalty. This week, Elisa and Jojy dig into the growing trend of sibling therapy, sparked by a New York Times Magazine article and a new book by therapist Karen Gail Lewis.
