On Season 8, Episode 8 of Bravo's Summer House, I tackle communication issues with Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula, a featured couple on the show, in a couples therapy session.

​

We discuss Amanda's insecurity of not feeling "good enough" and Kyle's insecurity of feeling like Amanda "doesn't like him." By pointing out these insecurities, I am able to empower the couple to share their vulnerabilities, which enhances their ability to communicate. Without an open dialogue, it's difficult for any couple to be on the same page and validate each other's feelings.

​

We end the session with a bit of advice and homework: when arguing in the future, try to bring a self-reflective energy. Meaning, rather than pointing the finger at the other person, try to look within yourself to explore what history and insecurities you're bringing. This way, you can focus on the moment, rather than expecting to work through all issues of the past.
