Terapia de Casal

I found this show fascinating. We start by listening the the four couples state what their conflicts are. It is easy to take sides at this point. Then, episode by episode, the therapist leads them to dive deep into what is causing the behavior and it is an amazing process. It becomes clear how past experiences/traumas are creating the self-sabotaging behavior in the present. Makes one wonder what one may be burying in oneself...?

If you're a student, professional in psychology or just someone who has a strong interest in it, I highly recommend giving this series a chance.

Couples Therepy gives you the ups, downs, frustrations and relief just as if you were in the room with the patients. The setting is such a calming room and well decorated to match the emotional atmosphere. The steady flow of the camera and conversations allows you to really hear and absorb the experiences these individuals are going through. There is no judgement, no focus on a "favorite." None of the reality trash television that is in all the other shows out there.

The clientele that is selected in sharing their moments with us is so beautifully diverse. To see struggles that are common problems but experienced differently through other factors like culture, religion, sexuality, gender, etc.

You also get a glimpse into the therapist discussing with her trusted circle of other's in the field too, and how she looks for more understanding into her patients struggles by educating herself through the group of therapists.

It's a great show that captures a diverse clientele and diverse issues. There's plenty of everything for everyone in Couples Therapy.

Also there's an adorable dog, which is a big plus.

My husband and I use your show to talk about topics that we may not discuss otherwise-it has brought us closer and wiser. Thank you.

Just finished season 2 and thought it was even better than season 1. I don't normally watch reality TV, but this show is very compelling and heartwarming to say the least. Its real people, real struggles and Orna is just mesmerizing at times. Sometimes she says very little and just lets them talk, but then she can say something so profound it just punches you in the gut. I did some reading about her and gotta say her background and how she came to do this show is worth the read. I think the series is over which is a bummer. I highly recommend watching this for the profound conversations and just sheer will of the show.

"Couples Therapy" (2019 release; 9 episodes of about 27 min. each) is a TV documentary series about couples therapy. As Episode 1 opens, we are introduced to Annie and Mau, married for 23 years. They are in session with psychoanalyst and couples therapist Orna Guralnik, and they start telling their story and why they are seeking therapy. Next up are Elaine and DeSean, married for 11 years. At this point we are less than 15 min. into Episode 1.

Couple of comments: first and foremost, this documentary series has nothing to do with the reality TV show of the same name that aired on VH-1 in 2012-2015. Second, the premise of this documentary is to follow 4 couples (the other two are Lauren and Sarah, married for 2 years, and Evelyn and Alan, married for 6 years). There is a reason why at the end of each episode we get a note that "The producers wish to thank the participating couples for their bravery and honesty". Indeed, the strength of this series is that these 4 couples leave it all out there, I mean, at times it is almost too much to take in. And it must be that the couples therapist feels likewise, as she is seen consulting with her clinical adviser, and she comments that she sometimes can't sleep at night due to the couples needs and her power/responsibility over these couples. If one were a cynic, one could say this series plays out like a soap opera as we become completely invested in these people, except that these are fictional characters but instead real people with real life problems.

"Couples Therapy" originally aired last Fall on Showtime, and I recently bingw-watched all 9 episodes in a single setting on SHO On Demand, yes, it is that good! A second season already has been green-lit and will be airing later this year, Can't wait for that!
