Couples Therapy For My Country

I was sitting in the Admiral's Lounge at DCA, waiting on a long flight delay, and spoke at length with a couples therapist about the realities of couples therapy. Sometimes, even when you're trying to be an impartial third party, you definitely know one person is to blame. Someone is making it worse, and you have to reconcile this, while still making sure the couple has a positive outcome. (Or not. Sometimes a couple therapist may realize it just ain't going to work.) In this episode, I examine America from the standpoint of a couples therapist, trying to look at "The Two Americas" to decide if one side actually owns more blame for the dysfunction. The answer, unequivocally, is yes.
