This is the sound of two people fighting for a future toget... more

  • Heartbreaking look inside toxic marriage

    Dean and Kate episode is heartbreaking. A women being eroded to nothing and a broken man wanting nothing more from life than sex. Please Kate leave and start to rebuild yourself and your life.

  • Risk assessment DV

    Dean and Kate episode was concerning. Kate said if they separate, Dean has said he will make things “very difficult” . This wasn’t even explored and all I’m seeing is red flags for DV. The therapist needs to properly screen for these behaviours. (I’m a mental health professional)

  • Great idea!

    This is a fantastic idea, similar to the great Esther Perel. Replace Sarah Blays with a good psychotherapist, she is not safe for the vulnerable guests.

  • Interesting

    If this is normal therapy, I feel like therapists are too agreeable. There are clearly poor behaviors that need to be addressed, some are even abusive! The therapists is kind and caring but needs to address unhealthy and damaging behavior.

  • Cohesive Control

    At first I was engrossed/curious and now I am just scared for some of these women … I am going to check myself and rely on my friend’s feedback - frankly at this point I am so concerned …
