Sister Wives Go to Therapy

SW Psychotherapist

A therapist’s exploration of Sister Wives, one episode at a time. In Sister Wives Go to Therapy, I examine the family dynamics, emotional undercurrents, red flags, and personal development portrayed on screen, through a clinical lens. No diagnoses, just thoughtful reflections on what happens when polygamy, patriarchy, and parentification collide in one complicated family.

Christine explains the concept of a "basement wife" to David. For their apology tour conversation, Meri and Kody each use their rehearsed lines, but Kody's fall flat.

The Brown family know how to celebrate Halloween in style, and do it with 21 colourful costumes and 24 pumpkins. In this short and sweet episode for my time away, I go all the way back to Season 2 Browns, when they were wholesome, and well, whole. It's really jarring to go from Season 20* to this fun, fluffy 22-minute episode. I'll be back next week continuing with Season 20, but for now, enjoy! *Also, between recording this episode and editing it, I watched episode 2 of Season 20 and wowee s...

NBC's Natalie Morales sits down with the Browns from TLC's smash hit Sister Wives for a candid discussion about love, marriage, jealousy and what the future may hold. In this outlier episode, we watch the Browns (with fresh blowouts!) sit through their own highlight reel, and it feels a bit like bad family therapy on national TV.
