Couples Therapy

Celebrity Therapist Dr. Jenn Berman returns for a third season of Couples Therapy to once again face the intense task of helping a new group of celebrity couples fix their troubled relationships. After they settle in and get acquainted, it doesn't take long for their extreme problems to reveal themselves, and on a recreational outing one of the couples has an embarrassing argument that threatens to end their relationship before their therapy even begins.

The couples 1st group session explores the lowest points in their relationships and with issues ranging from trust, alleged domestic violence, and even life threatening illness, Dr. Jenn discovers just how serious each couples' relationship crisis really is. An intense two on one session with Flavor Flav and his fiancé Liz explores their tumultuous past, and an extreme ropes course exercise tests the couples' relationships like never before.

In group, Dr. Jenn has the couples give a percentage of how much they trust their partner, and the exercise stirs up a lot of emotions, and some unexpected conflict between Chingy and Temple. Later, the couples participate in another exercise that measures their compatibility with their partner and once again, the results set one of the couples off. The fifth and final couple arrives at therapy and Joe Francis discovers some very interesting background information on one of them.

The newest couple, Dustin and Heather from The Real World Las Vegas, open up to Dr. Jenn about how Dustin's past in gay pornography has impacted their troubled relationship. Dr. Jenn asks the couples to be honest with one another about the problems they see, resulting in an explosive group session that nearly spirals out of control. Abbey opens up to Dr. Jenn about her lack of a voice in her relationship with Joe, and Flavor Flav and Liz's relationship reaches a breaking point.

In an emotional group session about how your childhood influences your present relationship, Flav, Abbey, and Catelynn share horrific stories that shed some light on their current dysfunction. Temple and Chingy fight it out over Chingy's preoccupation with technology, and as Tyler and Catelyn's wedding draws near, Tyler comes to the heartbreaking realization that he's just not ready to get married.

After Tyler calls off their wedding, a heartbroken Catelyn meets with Dr. Jenn for help with her broken heart. Liz takes a pregnancy test that comes up positive, which sends shock waves through not only their relationship, but the entire house. In a group session about fear, Heather opens up about her concern that Dustin will leave her, and in a follow up one-on-one session with Dr. Jenn, Heather realizes she has to stop trying to change Dustin.

After Liz is hauled away by paramedics, Dr. Jenn checks in with the rest of the cast and Abbey makes an emotional admission about the way Joe makes her feel. Liz returns from the hospital in good health, but when she's asked to attend an important follow up appointment for her pregnancy, she refuses to go and her and Flav's continued defiance agitates the other couples. In an emotional one on one session with Dr. Jenn, Joe shares a heartbreaking story about trauma in his past.

Fall out from Flav and Joe's confrontation distracts the house from the real work at hand, and Dr. Jenn does her best to negotiate a truce. Tyler opens up to Dr. Mike about his father and becomes emotional when Catelynn tries to comfort him. The couples attend an expressive therapy exercise to let off some steam and help them express their anger in a constructive way.

The couples have a revealing and emotional session with a body language expert who uncovers some harsh truths. As the end of the process draws near, Dr. Jenn decides to address Abbey's eating disorder head on. Catelynn has an emotional one-on-one session with her mother, and Joe Francis takes issue with Dustin's lack of footwear, starting an altercation that spirals out of control.

After Joe's altercation with Dustin and Heather, he and Abbey decide to leave the house and continue their therapy on an outpatient basis. The rest of the couples go on final dates to reflect on their journeys and discuss their futures, but Chingy and Temple's communication issues come to a head, threatening their relationship. Dr. Jenn leads an emotional final process group and meets with Joe and Abbey separately to discuss how they can support one another moving forward.
