A quick definition of give:

Term: GIVE

Definition: Give means to give something to someone else without expecting anything in return. For example, if you give your friend a toy, you are giving it to them as a gift. Give can also mean to offer something for someone else to consider, like when a witness gives testimony in court. Sometimes, a group of people called a jury will give a decision in a court case, like giving someone a punishment or awarding money to someone who was wronged.

A more thorough explanation:

give, verb

  1. To transfer something to someone else without expecting anything in return. For example, "Jack gave his daughter a car on her birthday."
  2. To grant or provide something through a formal process. For example, "The First Amendment gives all citizens the right to free speech."
  3. To offer or present something for consideration. For example, "The witness gave compelling testimony before the jury."
  4. (Of a jury) to impose or award something through a verdict. For example, "The jury gave the defendant the death penalty" or "The jury gave the plaintiff $1,000 in damages."

These examples illustrate how "give" can be used in different contexts. In the first example, Jack voluntarily transferred ownership of the car to his daughter as a gift. In the second example, the First Amendment grants citizens the right to free speech through a formal process. In the third example, the witness presented their testimony for the jury to consider. In the fourth example, the jury imposed a sentence or awarded damages through their verdict.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
