This week, we're getting on the therapist's couch -- specifically, Dr. Orna's couch -- to dig into what Couples Therapy is really about.

We're breaking down the three couples at the heart of Season 2 to look at anxious-avoidant spirals that are hard to watch and deeply relatable, navigating relationships that life thrust upon them, and how to navigate recovery in a relationship.

Then we zoom out to discuss what Orna's supervision sessions reveal about therapists being human, why the show matters for normalizing therapy, what Season 5's chatGPT-using-husband says about the loneliness epidemic, and why weaponized therapy speak is a problem even if going to therapy isn't.

Plus: Briana almost went to therapy school, Willow got broken up with by her therapist, and we're both anxious-avoidant.

CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses addiction, alcoholism, and suicidal ideation. Please listen with care.
