Episode 387: Couples therapy (almost) never works (you are not the client)

This podcast episode delves into the complexities of couples therapy, with Dr. Orion Taraban expressing his concerns about its efficacy in fostering healthy relationships. He critiques the therapy model that prioritizes the relationship over the individuals involved, emphasizes the drawbacks of compromise, advocates for unilateral change, and highlights the challenges of delivering truth in a therapeutic context. By arguing that understanding alone cannot resolve deep-seated issues and advocating for individual growth, Dr. Taraban encourages listeners to consider alternative approaches beyond conventional couples therapy.
