A Good Friend is Cheaper than Therapy Bracelet

“Got this for my roommate, who, under my close observation, has been through months of mild depression. We’ve done a lot of research together, looking for treatments, and now after all this effort, I just want her to know that I am also a source available for her whenever she needs me. And because I know it’s a difficult thing for her, I couldn’t bear to say it in front of her. This bracelet is like my messenger. And it’s so fine for a birthday present.”

The value of friendship can be surprising. “People report being happier when they are with friends than when they’re with a spouse or child,” according to research cited in a recent cover story in Psychology Today magazine. Everyone has the need to make new friendships and to enhance the old ones to keep our hearts open and our spirits free. The healing power from a good friend is much cheaper than therapy—and ten times as helpful!
