This is in conversation from Apple News. I'm Shemeetha Bessu. Today, what we can learn from couples therapy. Couples who end up together on the couch in a therapist's office will often give a reason

why they're there. Infidelity, fights, we're here to solve this problem.

But a good couple's therapist will tell you, every couple can stand to learn something

from going to therapy together.

People often have a preliminary kind of anxiety

about getting to know more about themselves

or about their partner, but when it really happens,

it's a very meaningful gratifying experience.

That's Dr. Orna Guralnick.

She's a psycho analyst, which means she pays particularly close attention

to a person's internal world, how past experiences may be unconsciously impacting or motivating them.

Those are those aha moments that we look for both an individual and in couples work like oh my God now I

understand something that I had like some feeling about there was a hunch but oh

now it makes sense.

What's different is she's doing this kind of inner world work

in an office rigged with cameras.

It's the main setting we see in the Showtime series called Couples Therapy, which follows several real life couples as they hash out their conflicts, their traumas, their anxieties, with Orna as their guide.
