My friend Janice listens to too much music. The reason for this, she says, is that there’s been an increase in the music she listens to since she subscribed to Spotify. She just isn’t very good at turning it off and it’s had an effect on her personal life. Her marriage to Phil isn’t the same as it was and he’s thinking of asking for a divorce. ‘I’m fed up with this situation’, he complains ‘how Janice participates in our conjugal life depends on the music she’s concentrating on at the time’. They telephoned __ a therapist to discuss __ the problem but neither of them wanted to pay for professional help.
