Woman's 'Emotional Support Cactus' Has Become The Centerpiece Of Family Therapy
The cactus has been named 'Steve.' The therapist is concerned about the attachment. 'He doesn't judge me,' the woman said.
Amanda brings her emotional support cactus, Steve, to family therapy. 'He keeps me grounded,' Amanda said. 'Literally, he's a cactus.' The therapist has asked about the relationship. 'It's complicated,' Amanda said. 'He's not very emotionally available. But he's there.' The cactus has been given a chair in the therapy session. 'I think Steve needs his own therapist,' the therapist said. Steve has not responded.
