Their homework was simple: go to an event together and practise building trust. But it doesn't go to plan. In this session, Jess & David's attempt to reconnect spirals into conflict. It's a session that explores how the attempt to fix things sometimes makes them worse; and how when someone shares their hurt, resolution doesn't begin with explaining... but truly listening.

Listen to the first part of Jess & David's session here.

This isn't a show about therapy. It is therapy. Each episode, you're invited to be a fly on the wall for a raw, unscripted, and intimate session with a real couple. These are the conversations that usually happen behind closed doors - the painful truths, the confusing patterns, and the hard-earned breakthroughs that define a relationship. This is the sound of two people fighting for a future together.
