Dr. Orna's Best Relationship Tips | Couples Therapy | Paramount+ with SHOWTIME

[@christythomas4287]

She is amazing.. I hope we get another season

[@kimtaff1932]

Observing the process and how she gently yet firmly confronts or gets curious -I think these are some of her best moments - very impactful.

[@jeremykelly3633]

What’s interesting is this…the same sex relationships reveal something fascinating. The women always end with affirming “I choose you.”. The men actually took time to hear each other. The opposite sex relationships couldn’t hear/understand each other. I think if we heterosexuals can take anything from this, it’s this: Men should affirm that you still choose her at the end of the conversation. Women, should listen to him & actually try to hear his heart.

[@1980tiffani]

Super interesting and true.. my fiance hung out with a group of friends and came away with the fact that women and men think so completely differently on most things. They discussed what was going on in their marriages and relationships.. I can absolutely say we are from different “planets”. I told my mom I feel like that may be one aspect of why men seek men and women seek women.. they understand each other on different levels, which is comforting . So it definitely takes more effort in heterosexual relationships to communicate more effectively and understand each other.

[@TheNunududu]

I do not like that first man AT ALL.

[@lindsayk9385]

Nobody does lol

[@Tiffany_C_]

He does not even like himself.

[@EeeeVeee231]

I strongly believe he is a textbook narcissist

[@stuffykong]

Total dbag. Why that woman is still married to him is a mystery to me.

[@CeddyDBry]

Nobody does hun lol 😂

[@diogo_rolo]

[@SarTafoolya]

These couples are exhausting my gawd!!! Thank the lord for therapist!!

[@mphomogapi8597]

I need Dr Orna's patience

to be fair, she gets paid the big bucks :)

First man is doomed

[@91toinfinity]

The woman with him is doomed. He has no self-awareness and in his mind, there's nothing wrong with him

[@jenniferthreatt8455]

These are good

[@AlaskianTourist]

0:38 Is this guy a narcissist?

[@sulltk1447]

Is he, indeed!

[@user-ee2qq4hp3z]

He's not. He's very emotional from what I sense but fighting vulnerability and in the process wearing himself, his partner, the therapist and the audience out.

[@jebuschost9258]

@@user-ee2qq4hp3zif you’ve seen any previous clips from this show, there you can see a pattern of behavior that does come off as narcissistic

[@EeeeVeee231]

I strongly believe so

The last guy is bad too!

[@chelseajus]

These men pmo

[@DemocracyFirst2025]

How about the women? Like the one whose only emotion is anger? Or the one whose reaction to feeling happy on the inside when her partner shows her love, is to be nasty?

[@Ladybird.21]

@@DemocracyFirst2025 you mean completely normal trauma responses to things that have occurred in their lives, that they’re actively trying to learn how to cope with in a healthier way?😳🙄 If you actually watched this show, you’d see how awful some of these men really are, like that first utter nightmare who didn’t GAF about ANYONE but himself, 100% of the time? What’s wrong, did you relate too much to his perspective? “Everything just isn’t fair, *but to ONLY ME;* I only get my way 95% of the time!!” Who got joy out of saying horrible things to his wife? The “angry woman” (you literally played right into the stereotype that she talks about throughout their sessions, yikes) worked through her issues, and so did her partner, and ended this season in a much healthier relationship, which is the point of seeing a couples counselor. Statistically, historically, the men don’t want to put in the actual work. They won’t even show up to these appointments. These are FACTS. They resent that they need some help, and choose to further deteriorate the relationship, instead of actually do something about their issues. *NO ONE should have to say “this is obviously not all men”, but you’re exactly the type of person that demands it.*🤢

[@amarbyrd2520]

Okay, not just me, then These first three men are absolutely useless

[@darliqo]

Watching this reminds me of how much I struggled in my last relationship, trying to make sense of everything. Then I found this book at Synfla, it showed me how to create a strong foundation in love and respect. Trust me, it’s a must-read for anyone serious about relationships!

[@angeserushyana-bettis4975]

Why is she mostly addressing the issues with the men and not the women in the marriage? I am a divorced woman and would love some insight into what I did and my actions that lead to the end of my marriage. Please provide tools for both genders can leverage to sustain and save their marriage. It would be super helpful! Thanks 😊

[@mickb3941]

If you’re divorced and don’t understand your part in it, you need therapy of your own.

[@imbored6037]

These are clips of an entire season, love relax. I distinctly remember 3 separate women who got told off (including the second one shown).

[@B_27]

She does address the women, watch the actual show.

[@AngelaAins]

She addressed the Women in this compilation as well. It's coming across like you didn't actually watch or listen.

[@josiemaromi6981]

Remember it's all edited

[@tentrickspony8925]

Its not helpful if she makes them say and do anything they dont want to... essentialy asking them to be disingenuous

[@zerotohero14]

Just playing devil's advocate here: in a sense I agree, there should be vested interest in the process. However, couple's therapy may have you do things you aren't comfortable with, meaning what your partner wants is something you are available or unavailable to do. My meaning: sometimes couple's therapy doesn't mend your relationship. Sometimes it helps folks come to the conclusion it should end.

[@mattmurphy6250]

Dr. Orna did not know how to treat the first guy, Mau. She misunderstood him because of her own lacking compassionate awareness. If anyone would like to kindly and respectfully discuss this together, let me know how I can contact you.

[@ashpiredliving]

I can see your point. But she's not there to give the answers of her opinion. She's there as a guide. The first guy should put him in his place by saying she's there when he wants to control how the session is supposed to be. ❤

[@mattmurphy6250]

@@ashpiredliving Instead of interpreting it as wanting to control the session, he was just standing up for his perspective & feelings being understood by Orna & his wife. If a woman acted the same way, do you see how people would call it being "brave" & "self-empowering" instead of "defensive" and "controlling"?

[@mattmurphy6250]

@@ashpiredliving Orna frequently did not understand him well. She did not guide the session how it's supposed to be, which is where both get fairly understood & validated. She struggles working with masculinity throughout the show, which fits the cultural stereotype for counselors in the urban New York area she's in.

[@embrya26]

I don't think your assessment is accurate here. I've watched this show particularly this season twice and I don't see that there was a way for her give to Mau any more than she did due to his rigid resistance, incessant deflection, steadfastness in the perceived justifiable nature of his mistreatment of his wife and their relationship, his deep seated belief that everyone is out to get him and his deeply insecure need to be right. On top of that, when he's shown he's not right or the consequences of his behavior or he is challenged, he does all he can to wrest control of the situation via provocation of either his spouse or of the therapist in defense of his spouse or both only to turn around and play victim when called out. Mau needs intensive individual therapy which he's either refused or quit several times. In the couple's therapy environment he can use his wife's words and actions to justify his behavior which is harder to do in individual therapy because it forces you to focus solely on yourself and Mau desperately doesn't want to see himself for the person he truly is because he hates himself so deeply that whatever malady befalls him it has to be others' fault. Orna saw that, tried to break through it to hold him accountable but it wasn't going to work in that setting or maybe not even at all because no amount of compassion or care can change or help a person who is deadset on neither happening in lieu of a narcissistic need for ego supply and preservation. You can even track him down now, see some of his social media and know that he wasn't/isn't someone who wants help.

[@fluerpedia]

is this mo’s secret account..

[@tonygorgano1646]

It sounds like she is teaching men how to deal with crazy

[@esounds1]

NO baby boy, mostly she is trying to "teach" men to be more emotionally available and emotionally mature !

[@esounds1]

The first man definitely has NPD!
