Come Here To Me — Trailer
04/15/21 • 2 min
Come Here To Me is an empathetic, often amusing look at the truth of relationship dynamics and how things get messy even for the relationship experts. Every other week Figs and Teale share clips of their personal couples therapy sessions with an anonymous therapist—the fights, the tears, the silliness, and the love. They then take a step back from the emotional intensity of the session to examine those experiences for the benefit of the listener (and themselves). In the form of bonus episodes, Figs and Teale provide in-depth explanations, relationship tips, answer listener questions, and interview couples and other experts in the field.
