[Contains mature themes] Free for a limited time to Audible members. A young couple has endured a series of crises early in their marriage, from a benign brain tumor to a serious car crash to the husband’s near-fatal heart attack. Following his recovery, he’s adapting to new physical limitations, while she says the children bear the brunt of his frustrations. Esther coaches them through an honest conversation on anger, parenthood and the power of apology.

Reviewed: 11-12-17
The passive-agressive, alcoholic and abusive husband grunts his way through this therapy session. He has zero introspective skills. You will want to scream back at the wife: JUST LEAVE HIM ALREADY. At least the ending redeems the episode somewhat, but I could have done without the enraging 40 minutes that preceded it. Esther Perel is a skilled therapist who tried to find his redeeming qualities and move him to change. Alas, her interventions were lost on him.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
