Couples Therapy | Reaching a Breaking Point | SHOWTIME

[@MaureenRoberts-p7p]

This is exactly what I needed to hear. I’ve been facing trauma from my breakup. We were so compatible together, six years together, and then he called off our engagement just 3 months before our wedding. I’ve been so sad, I still want him so badly, I can still feel his touch around me. I don’t know what to do anymore. I can’t get over him, I need him back.

[@MaryT.Fitzgerald]

This is a familiar experience. It was hell for me when my husband left, and if it wasn’t for a spiritual counselor who helped me, I’m not sure how I would have survived.

[@MaureenRoberts-p7p]

For real? Please, how did this counselor help? And how did you find them? It would feel like a miracle if someone could help me.

[@MaryT.Fitzgerald]

His name is Father Akabu He is a spiritualist who helps restore broken relationships with his powerful abilities. I’m very certain he can help you get your partner back.

[@MaureenRoberts-p7p]

That’s very kind of you, thank you. Can I find him online? I hope he can help me get my man back.

[@MaryT.Fitzgerald]

Yes you can, he is a very powerful man, I’m sure he can help you, he helped me.

[@misschina]

I notice that Ping often puts the blame back on Will and struggles with looking at her feelings. The ability to understand what you are feeling is a key turning point in therapy and she’s not quite there yet.

[@SegChainberland]

The fact that people are in the comments blaming either of them is sad and not the point of the show, it getting people to open up be vulnerable and undertsand the other parties perspective. Not to blame each other. I am glad that rhey came to the conclusion it wasn't working. No point in wasting more time. Wish them luck and move on.

[@WhaChuUpTo]

This exactly. ❤

[@youparejo]

I am sorry, is this a real therapy session ??? I was thinking they were such good actors, no wonder why! I can't believe a therapist would agree to that, people's therapy as entertainment, what a dystopian hell. ps: I thought it was a show because there is a French tv show called "Thérapie" with the same scenario and actors playing the parts.

[@WhaChuUpTo]

@@youparejo This is actually real couples and real sessions.

[@Sunsun281]

There’s is only 3 words to describe this relationship; “nothing is coming”

[@cimplecyrup]

“An attempt to influence by being done” - damn

[@beasaroseco5840]

2:02 She gets it. I know its a show, but there is something he is holding onto that he needs to be released.

[@pupplylove3003]

It isn’t just a show. This is real couples going through real therapy with a real licensed therapist

[@victoriagolston7514]

Very much so. Hes reserved. If thats the case then she should go. You gotta trust your partnee.

[@onegreenenvy]

She’s telling her not to use anger and that if being done to get him to fight. She really wants him to fight, he feels like a lazy low effort partner

[@lmb4876]

This doctor is the best…My former husband & I went to a psychologist..after pouring my heart out ( he was having an emotional affair with a much younger woman) the therapist said “ why haven’t you two fixed this yourselves?” WTF..that was an hour & $$$$$ wasted !!

[@Lehmann108]

Therapist here. That is not necessarily a bad question. Maybe if it was phrased, "What comes in the way of you trying to fix this issue?"

[@beepbopboop7727]

She might have worded it wrong. Maybe she means, what is it that has made the conflict resolution break down. What is the obstacle you both haven’t been able to hurdle.

[@dsabre4990]

That is a great question! The therapist is asking you to identify what it is you specifically think you need help with (communication, anger, threats, etc). When you admit you have not fixed it because of X...X becomes the thing all 3 of you can go after.

[@catherinn.951]

It almost seems as if she is abrasive to get a reaction out of him. She keeps throwing jabs at him, say a lot of hurtful things about him and ask questions to the therapist, but they seem to be meant for him. If she is sitting there and saying she is done, it doesn't seem that way - but then what do I know... just my impression in this situation

[@katecarter3576]

I think she knows what she want but says it harshly, which hurts him.

[@jenhasken]

Never tell someone “hopeless”.

[@Allinmyworld]

They are one of the couples on here that i want them to break up so bad!! Ping hated him and was so mean to him

[@pupplylove3003]

She was frustrated at him because he wasn’t fulfilling her emotional needs. She’s the “man” in the relationship and having that off balance doesn’t work!

[@Allinmyworld]

@@pupplylove3003 She didn't have an patience or empathy for him at that point break up

[@pupplylove3003]

@@Allinmyworld yes for sure! I can unfortunately relate. I was wayyy checked out of the relationship by the time my ex and I broke up and I became angry like she did. Not my proudest moment, but I can understand her

[@Geenine44]

People close off when youre are constantly around angry partners.

[@victoriagolston7514]

Or how you were raised or trauma or abuse or ptsd or just lack of ability to communicate.

[@victoriagolston7514]

Maybe he was taught that good boys dont share their emotions at a young age. Maybe his dad was this way. Maybe he learned early that sharing his true feelings led to repurcussions of people leaving. So yeah maaaaaany reasons

[@katrolinka89]

Grow tf up

[@bugsybrown1745]

‘Being done’ is totally a way to gain negative attention and guilt from the other partner. When you’ve truly worked through every avenue and self reflected, there’s no hostility toward the partner left. It’s ’letting go’.

[@saeedhossain6099]

basically it a hostage takers ploy. its a short hand for "I've orchestrated a situation you're now tied to, let's see how far I can push you......"

[@zerotohero14]

I know a lot of the comments here are very erudite and thought out... but watching this whenever they pan to him I kept thinking "this man looks like you mushed together Aaron Rodgers and Macauley Culkin".

[@chrisroche-c8y]

It seems to me like she got really angry while he was speaking, and was all of a sudden very sure she was "done" not because she genuinely feels that way, but because she was angry.

[@foxibot]

That guy I feel sorry for. I don’t know what’s going on, but he’s sad and upset. And hate to see humans feel hurt and sad.

[@juliajulia1835]

He's probably sad and hurt because it's coming to an end. Sometimes people grow out of love and need to go their separate ways

[@Daniela-nn4qi]

Yeah it’s always sad when marriages start failing

[@qusmable]

I feel sorry for her. It looks like the marriage is coming to an end because he wasn’t committed to working on himself although he knew his pattern all along

[@svlagonda7417]

He's low energy probably because he's been worn down by that awful woman's neediness, demands and abuse. He needs to find a better woman.

[@melo_deep]

Accountability is very hard since it requires one to enter a deep vulnerable state and that state terrifies a lot of us.

[@Sunsun281]

That woman is misunderstood… do you know how exhausting it can be to hold 2 people together ?? she has to uplift herself and tend to him.. and if she’s lucky enough to have inner motivation, happiness and inner strength.. she’s the only person carrying both of them.. that’s why she’s crying wolf “I’m done” she doesn’t want it to be really be done, she’s queuing him up, I’m done carrying the 2 of us, it’s a heavy load.. Yoo hoo, hint hint, how bout you step it up and pull your weight here?? He’s harvesting from her , but doesn’t know how to use the relationship irrigation system..

[@madamoisellechampignon5340]

I wonder if what's making him so...unresponsive to her is because he goes straight to "well, she's already angry, there's NOTHING that can be done to fix this" rather than "alright, this isn't working. let me try something else, let me get to the bottom of this." And maybe, by this point, it is too late for them because this cycle has been going on for too long.

[@Sunsun281]

It’s a type of helplessness since he has deep seated mommy issues too.

[@guyincognito-u1l]

becaude he doesnt care about HER. he cares about what hes able to extract from her.​@madamoisellechampignon5340

[@deec3158]

Are you a therapist?

[@Sunsun281]

No

[@OneandonlyD]

I don't get it, Ping said she's done but still tries to go see couples therapy. If she’s done, she should’ve closed the door and left, moved on.

[@gwhahaha]

As a last attempt to “repair” the relationship, I reckon she just needed to hear it from a professional.

[@pupplylove3003]

That was her last cry for help

[@jennyonthecoast]

They trigger each other

[@katierojas8066]

Because their relationship started out on the wrong foot with both of them being in poly relationships.

[@catsupchutney]

I don't know why he doesn't just walk out after being told he's useless. It's time to collect your stuff guy and get a room somewhere. The therapist even hinted that she's just trying to extract concessions.

[@Helen-jy6br]

It took me so long to believe that reality but it’s so true!

[@victoriagolston7514]

Yes. But people do that because they are begging for their partner to step up or tell them something or change. This is an investment of time energy and money hopes and dreams. It can be a challenge to walk away. Worse than an angry partner is a silent one because it seems like they dont even care to fake it anymore.

[@AirForceDunn]

At least they realised it's over, too bad they didn't just leave it before couldve saved therapy money 😂

[@mphoentlekgositau6536]

Wow! He is such a wall! Emotionless no.connection what's so ever. Poor woman has been by herself for sooo long.

[@HAPPLIP]

That's one way to look at it. From my perspective, he wants to express himself but is met with hyper criticism time and time again. In his mind, his attempts are never good enough for her, resulting in shutdown. It's kind of like trying a new hobby, and your mentor keeps saying " wrong " with every attempt. It's gonna be hard to show up

[@butterfly1873]

She’s a lot but it’s due to her childhood. For those of us that didn’t get emotionally fed from our parents we have things to workout before we get married. I see the difference in my kids on how they were raised and how I was raised. I ended up getting a divorce after 20 yrs of marriage, I married a good guy who was a great provider and allowed me to be a stay at home mom. My kids grew up knowing they were loved and that they mattered. I was a great mom but I wasn’t a good wife. I was raised by a single mom that had me at 19 she was married but she was running from her alcoholic mom to my abusive dad then got out of marriage 4 yrs later with 3 kids.

[@victoriagolston7514]

She shouldve encouraged him to open up as a therapist

[@rgomoffat]

He is saying it...its done.

[@sarahbegum2192]

Where can we watch the full ones

[@saeedhossain6099]

she wants to be done, but something tells me is she can't be done because she needs him but she can't admit it. he's done too, but a sub optimal status quo us better than free fall (aka staying for the kids). There's alot more marriages like that than people care to admit to.

[@Kevin-rx2vd]

She looks so disgusted and full of hate while he looks defeated. There’s no coming back. It’s done

[@ssing7113]

“I’m sure that hard to say” Yes. Well a man on the verge of crying is in a tough spot. No S Sherlock 😂😂😂

[@rk6032]

[@quincycuthbert5408]

That man ran away from her. She is too aggressive and abusive.

[@suko8019]

Isnt it good to run away from people like that

[@gatsbylee]

Felt so terrible for Ping tbh. Watching the full season, it was obvious that Will was very self centered and selfish. Never wanted to put in any effort. Ping was essentially his way of getting back at his mom imo. The therapist even states at one point she wishes she could put Will into a therapy bootcamp, because he just doesnt care at all about anything that isnt fun. It's alarming. It was clear he had used her and driven her to the edge then played victim. Sad.

[@svlagonda7417]

That woman is sooooo abusive. He needs to leave her and the abusiveness.

[@RobertJohnson-bj5lk]

Two long term relationships. One girlfriend, one wife. Each decided we needed to go to couples therapy. Each proactively chose a female therapist. Each was truly only looking for professional validation of her desire to dump me. Could have saved significant amounts of time, money and aggravation and just dumped me up front.

However, was he always like this … before Pingy… ? But then, when he gets a few words in, saying that perhaps they are over.. she immediately attacks .. her voice roughens even as it goes up .. she takes centre stage, again.. MEGA MOUTH, micro mind.
