'Couples Therapy' FAQ
Will there be a season 5 of "Couples Therapy"?
It certainly looks like it. While there's been no official announcement around a fifth season of "Couples Therapy", head to Orna Guralnik's website and you'll see that she's taking applications for "upcoming seasons of the docuseries".
"You can receive 18 couples therapy sessions, at no cost. All sessions are filmed for possible use in the documentary series "Couples Therapy," which appears on Showtime."
How does the "Couples Therapy" TV show work?
To make the couples feel as relaxed as possible, the set up for the show involves a series of TV cameras hidden behind one-way mirrors. There are also one or two rules, including an important one that couples are not to speak about their children in any depth.
Guralnik meets the couples when they enter her room on camera for the very first time. The couples then engage in 18 to 20 one-hour therapy sessions which are then edited down to nine or so episodes.
Until now, episodes have been shot in New York but the application form for "Couples Therapy" season 5 asks applicants if they would consider traveling to Chicago. Make of that what you will.

Lots – including "I Kissed a Girl", "The Assembly", "This Town", "The Space Shuttle That Fell to Earth", "The Reckoning", "Navalny" and "The Stones and Brian Jones".
