Description: A young woman goes to her stepbrother's room to ask him to help her with something. A quick conversation turns into a deeper talk, and she finds herself spilling out personal details. He listens intently, showing empathy and understanding. She mentions a therapist she's been seeing, and shares some of her thoughts about the sessions. Her stepbrother comments on how a certain family dynamic might be influencing her feelings. She hadn't thought of it that way, but it makes sense. She thanks him for listening and feels relieved after sharing her burden. A few days later, her stepbrother mentions that he wants to practice his therapy skills. She's hesitant at first, but eventually agrees. The session starts, and it's obvious that he's trying hard to be good at it. After a while, she suggests that they switch roles. As the therapist, she feels more in control, while being able to express herself freely.
