Whitney And Sada: Communication Problems...Totally!

Image Source VH1

The way I see it, Sada is the problem when it comes down to communication. Whitney is trying so hard to reach out to Sada and she pulls away from her every chance she gets and it aggravates me that Sada does that.  Communication is one of the main sources of a good relationship.  Sada's set backs results from abuse from her father.  I can imagine how  painful it was for Sada to talk about the abuse she took from her father. I’m also a big believer that when someone hurts you, especially as a child, and you hold that secret for them you take on the shame and it hurts you. It makes you a prisoner of the abuse. But when you’re able to talk about it and recognize that it wasn’t your fault, you’re able to let go of that burden.  That was part of Sada's healing, so that she doesn't bring the burden into her relationship with Whitney.

I can tell Sada was very worried, and she felt very responsible for her dad and his feelings which was a very unhealthy in their relationship. Part of her talking about it, to Dr. Jenn was very therapeutically and it did changed the dynamic. Her not carrying that burden and letting go of that changed it.  But, what made me mad with Sada, was her not connecting to Whitney.  She was really trying to connect and support Sada, but Sada wasn’t seeing it.

Sometimes I want to shake Sada and tell her, "What in the devil is wrong with you?" Do you know that you're the problem of why you and Whitney are not connecting, because of the lack of communication?" But I was too - excited for Sada to see from the outside now that she’s had a little time because it was very reflective of their (Whitney and Sada) dynamic when Sada says, “No, you don’t have to go with me,” and then gets mad at Whitney when she doesn’t go with her. I see that Sada sets Whitney up to disappoint her by not being honest and direct. "To me - that's bull-crap.". I can also see that its painful for Whitney, because, she is so tuned in to Sada and she wants to help her and be there for her.  I see that Whitney gives her "all and all" to be there for Sada, and Sada is again and again pushing Whitney away. My opinion is that Sada may be bipolar in the way she acts.  I like her and Whitney, I've grown onto them, but, Sada needs to grow and open her mouth to Whitney and communicate with her about her feelings and let go of her past.

Couples Therapy: Season 4 - Episode 7 "Crumbs of Love"

Courtesy of VH1

 Kelsey vs. Ghostface vs. Latrice

Ghostface tried to down play Kelsey and his relationship.  He continued to play both Kelsey and Latrice in a private therapy session from episode 6 and got into a completely nasty argument with Kelsey right in front of Latrice (usually what some men do when the other woman is present, they get caught up in their mess - as same with women getting caught up in their messes).  “Couples Therapy” season 4, episode 7: “Crumbs of Love” premiered on VH1.  In this episode, after Kelsey storms out of her therapy session with Ghost and his other woman, Latrice, it is clear she is brokenhearted and completely over her relationship with Ghost.  Latrice leaves, not knowing where her relationship with Ghostface stands. Kelsey is very clear that she wants nothing to do with Ghost, and he knows that he most likely has lost both women forever. I know how Kelsey feel from my own life experience, when players like Ghostface - play on the hearts of two women at the same time.  Ghostface wants to "Have his cake and eat it too" and for Ghost, having two women makes him feel powerful - thinking that they were going to fight over him.  Ghost thought he will get his chance to choose between the two (loose one gain one ) and he lost both ways.  Like Dr. Jenn said, "If  play with fire, you will get burned." The two pieces he cut from his burnt cake just got crumbled completely.  Latrice made the right move by turning away, Ghostface and moving on with her life.  Ghostface admitted to Latrice that he loved sex and he loved women and that he needed to stop messing around and that he knew he screwed himself completely.  Good for Latrice!  Good for Kelsey too!

Dr. Jenn vs. Farrah vs. All Couples

Dr. Jenn brings compatibility experts from an online dating company in for a group exercise. Since Farrah is in therapy alone, Dr. Jenn has her fill out a profile so she can go on a date with someone more compatible with her in the future. After the couples fill out a probing questionnaire, Dr. Jenn reveals that all of the couples (Whitney and Sada, Taylor and John) are compatible in their relationships - except for Ghost and Kelsey and Jon and Liz.  Ghost and Kelsey weren’t surprised, but Jon and Liz are shocked and upset, and threaten to quit Couples Therapy.

Whitney and Sada, John and Taylor vs. Jon and Liz

Here's my opinion of Jon and Liz - I don't think Liz Janetta realizes how much she hurt Jon with her tongue - nor she realizes it.  (I can't say the same for Kate.  She realized how much she was hurting Jon.  "She didn't care!"  The attention and the spotlight was what Kate wanted more than her marriage to Jon).  Liz refuses to 'listen to reason' what anyone says about Jon and her relationship and why they are incompatible in some of the areas of their relationship.  Unlike Jon - he doesn't seem to realize what Liz said to him was wrong and demeaning.  I guess Jon is so caught up in having women like his ex. wife Kate and Liz Janetta, emasculate and belittle him.  Like Taylor's fiance John Bluher said, "Jon need to stand up to Liz." I say, Jon need to stand up and be a man and stop letting women "run over" him and being a douche like everyone claims him to be.  He need to stop playing the 'victim' and the 12th child to Liz and his children.  Looking to shed light on the issue on VH1 - will once again examine the complicated and often misunderstood world of high-profile relationships with season 4 of  Couples Therapy.  "Couples Therapy" season 4 episode 7 was more explosive and dramatic than ever as Dr. Jenn and her staff explore new relationship territory with the series’ first married lesbian couple, and one couple’s relationship is so fragile it breaks just as therapy is getting underway.  Its been a blast to watch "Couples Therapy" season 4.

Couples Therapy: Season 4 - Episode 6: Is Beyond Scandalous!

Kelsey vs. Ghostface

"Talk about scandalous!"  Who in the devil Ghostface think he is?  "He is a true player, a complete 'heart donor' when it come to women's feelings.  "What the heck!"  Its like...Ghostface 'want to have his cake and eat it too' and he thinks its a joke to play on Kelsey's heart and her emotions.  Its like...he don't hear her crying out when she questions his indiscretion.  He sits around and mopes like its nothing more than a joke to him to damage ssomeone's heart with his bull crap.  How can Ghostface fix his mouth to say, I love you, Kelsey?  "Its pure bull crap - he completely lied to Kelsey and lead her on from day one!"  He need to step up to the plate and be a man and consider Kelsey's feelings.  I remember from the first episode of 'Couples Therapy' when Ghostface said,  "He doesn't need therapy." -- Now I understand why!  If he didn't need therapy, that was his queue to inform Kelsey of his other 'significant' other, before his therapy session with Kelsey started.  And to demand Dr. Jenn to bring the woman he's being seeing on the side - to set of 'Couples Therapy' to meet Kelsey, is beyond disrespect - so that he can decide which one of the two women he can continue his scandalous relationship with or continue to play them both."  Ghostface significant other (Latrice Royale) arrives while Ghost and Kelsey are in a private session with Dr. Jenn.  "I could tell you, all H - E - double sticks broke loose while in session!" Ghostface girlfriend (Latrice) of 'four' years questioned Ghost's infidelity and she asked him how long he had been with Kelsey and if he was in loved with her.  During Ghost's answer to his girlfriend (Latrice) of four years, Kelsey questioned Ghostface about his real feelings for his girlfriend (Latrice) of four years.  She asked, "Are you in love with her?" Ghostface 'tripped' over his words...trying to explain himself to Dr. Jenn, Latrese, and Kelsey.  Sarcastically and dramatically...Ghostface and Kelsey began to argue - very loud like it was no tomorrow.  Dr. Jenn had to abruptly cut in their argument with a 'butter knife' to get them to cease, it was so heated!  Dr. Jenn was very angry with Ghosface for the way he treated Kelsey.  Dr. Jenn retaliated in anger toward Ghostface, "How can you treat her like that?  Talk about disrespect!"  Its like...Kelsey was trying to explain to Ghost - of why he mislead her and why he wasn't straight forward with her from the beginning.  He did not want to listen to Kelsey...he wanted to justify and overlap with his argument of what Kelsey was trying to tell him.  She got tired and she got up - and she walked out of the private session.  Dr. Jenn immediately went after Kelsey to console her.  If I was right there in the same room with Kelsey - face to face with her - I would tell her, "Run Kelsey Run - and don't look back - Ghostface is not worth your tears, your heart, and definitely your time, because, you're too beautiful of a woman inside and out to continue taking Ghostface's crapola.  If I was face to face with Latrice, I would tell her  "Wake up and smell the doo doo piled up in front of you!". She need to run as far as she run away from Ghostface, because, I feel he do not love Latrice...nor Kelsey.  He's playing them both.

Farrah vs. Everyone in Couples Therapy

I can't feel anything for Farrah!  She doesn't display real tears whenever she try to fake her cries in almost every group session.  Farrah is not real about her thoughts or what ever comes out of her mouth.  Its like...why is she there at 'Couples Therapy?' What is her motive? What is the point of her being solo on the set without having someone there with her to work something out?  She can't even tell the truth about her life and the sex tape she claimed she filmed in the comfort of her home (with the camera crew, as Sada mentioned) that she claimed accidently leaked out into the media.  Farrah had a private meeting (without the cameras rolling) with Dr. Jenn about the authenticity of her life and about something that she could not tell everyone - which is the truth - at group therapy.   In group therapy (after her private meeting with Dr. Jenn) Farrah expresses some of her feelings she been withholding from the other couples.  Taylor's fiancé boldly jump right in and attacked Farrah immediately.  He said, "Whenever Farrah does open her mouth and she pukes out her words!"  He did not believe, or trust, or care, or want to hear anything Farrah had to say. Whitney joined in the attack on Farrah - calling her out about being truthful In group therapy.

Ghostface vs. Sada and Whitney

While in group therapy, it seemed that Ghostface treatment of Kelsey, went to the hearts of Sada and Whitney.  Sada wasn't a lost for words. Sada said to Kelsey,  "Its not kisses to roses - you never had him anyway." Then Ghostface retaliated and attacked Sada. "This is what men do." Good as to say, he can do anything he want to women no matter how they feel about him.  "Totally pathetic!"  Whitney retaliated, "This is not what men do, this what you do."
