If I say stop, in my opinion that is exactly what it means and your friend is saying that. you CANNOT control what he does and can only offer advice but when that advice comes at you after you've asked someone to stop doing so, it is wasted advice at best and at worst it could ruin a friendship.
I am not saying she should continue to give advice. I am saying that she could explain where she is coming from, what her concerns are, and her disagreement with the therapist's advice and then let him do as he wants to.

Why are you arguing?
