This isn't a show about therapy. It is therapy. Each episode, you're invited to be a fly on the wall for a raw, unscripted, and intimate session with a real couple. These are the conversations that usually happen behind closed doors - the painful truths, the confusing patterns, and the hard-earned breakthroughs that define a relationship. This is the sound of two people fighting for a future together.
