Big fan of how this show is reintroducing therapy speak into my life and is actually bringing back to center how I might greatly benefit from going back to the ol' psychoanalysis couch. The show is raw and vulnerable to the point of discomfort. I feel myself queasy at the reflection of some of my own behaviors playing back at me through another person.
Seeing this show makes me think all the more about how deeply relationships penetrate our lives. That our romantic partnerships can dig up pieces of what has hurt us in the past and sink them in even deeper. And through this vulnerability, we find that even though we might not have even known that these pieces that prick and cut us were there, they've actually been bleeding us dry all these years.
It's terrifying!! Which makes me appreciate how brave loving actually is. How brave being open and honest is, and how deeply beautiful it is that despite how difficult, the human spirit finds a way to keep saying yes to the grand and eternal challenge of relationships.
Love this show, highly recommend.

😃I wouldve never expected to be so enthralled by a show like this. It is literally just a show about couples in, well, couple’s therapy. But the simplicity of the concept adds to how endearing it is— the therapist, Orna, has this otherworldly air about her. Her stare is so piercing, and the questions she asks are ones make me go and think “oh, of course she should ask that!” I highly recommend giving it a shot. It’s shows like these that remind me how much I love the ins and outs of normal people’s lives. I’m incredibly curious about others.

But also actual couples therapy if you need it.
I’m obsessed with this show. I love seeing people work through their issues (or not). I’m fascinated how Dr. Orna guides the process. I’m a therapist but this is not my forte at all and I am fascinated!

📺A groundbreaking reality show that will 100% force you to realize you, too, are constantly reenacting childhood family dynamics with your current partner. Watch with your husband to see how strong your marriage is.

💕I am pretty certain that I am with the person I'm going to marry. We've been through so much together and no one in the world has ever known me as intimately as he does. My soul is crystal clear to him. And he loves me.
Most importantly, he is always ready to learn even more about me and to evolve with me and to make space for me in his life, in his habits, and in his behaviour.
I love him so much. I'm so lucky. I hope I find him in all my other lives. I hope we're together until the end of time.

My baby son makes my life so beautiful. Unbelievable luck that we live in the world where we have befriended cats and that they can trust us and would seem so overjoyed to see us come home. This little guy's in my home and I am in his.
