Bethenny - 4/23
From just what they show on camera, I don't think that Bethenny and Jason have a solid marriage. I can't believe their fights and problems are out there like that for the world to see. I'm only judging from what is on the show and any decent behavioral health professional would NOT allow cameras in on a therapy session. That trip to Mexico just seemed painful. Betheny has such abandonment issues but it's hard to feel sorry for someone who has so much (success, money, baby, friends, etc.) and can't work through her issues.
The baby is cute and looks just like Jason. Her playing with the little boy and talking in Spanish was the best part of the show.
Re: Bethenny - 4/23
I agree I'm always surprised that they show therapy sessions BUT if Bethenny is willing to "throw confidentiality out the window" then he really can't argue...
and, I'm sure she sees him more frequently than what we see...
Their marriage is def. very rocky right now - I do feel badly because they do both look like their in pain like pp mentioned.
Eh, I don't think that's really fair. Isn't the old adage "money can't buy you happiness"? She's definitely had a lot of success, but that certainly doesn't eradicate what was an effed up upbringing and the impact that's had on her.
I think their marriage is rocky and needs a lot of work, and I hope they're able to get through it. At the root of it, they do seem to love each other, and I like them, so I hope for the best. But there seems to be a lot there that needs to be ironed out.
I also hope that she has therapy above and beyond what's filmed, and would hope that Jason would enter into couples therapy with her, or at least therapy on his own. I know she says everyone thinks he's perfect and maybe that was true, but it definitely seems like he needs some work himself. He comes across as very resistant to it, which is a shame.
Just my opinion. I understand your point but LOTS of people have messed up childhoods and work through them by the time they are in their 40s. At some point you need to let that stuff go and enjoy life and I don't think she has. I feel sorry for her more because her marriage seems sucky but still she has such a remarkable life. Generally I like Bethenny and think she is quite funny!
I knew I recognized his name so I googled him and it turns out his name is all over in psychology literature. (I'm a psychology grad student)
I also find myself having a lot of empathy for her. She tries to be better but struggles due to her past.
As a therapist, I'm not a big fan of cameras in the sessions, but sessions being filmed is nothing new and doesn't invalidate one's credibility as a therapist. I'm sure that all/entire sessions are not filmed for the show.
I also disagree that someone who has a lot going for them should be expected to work through their issues faster. I can understand why the general public may lack empathy for the woes of a successful person, but really at the end of the day if someone isn't happy with themself, having all the stuff in the world doesn't mean cr@p. Everyone works at their own pace and Bethenny has a lot of unresolved issues from childhood and hasn't acheived closure on those issues yet. Some people are more resiliant and able to achieve that closure at a quicker pace, other's may spend years and years and years of work to get to that place.
Anyway, I think that yes, Bethenney does have her issues, but I also think Jason needs to be more receptive to working on their marriage as well. He likes to point out her issues, but it's clear he has many of his own.

Bryn looks just like Julie!!
I thought the boat trip seemed sketchy/unethical on Dr. Amador's part.
The problem is- I don't believe anything is true- it is reality TV with a script and editors (which B is the exec producer of) so her fights with Jason re exaggerated for TV. If you follow her on twitter, she is always tweeting about their date nights with Jason.
I think she is funny but then again- she follows a script so who really knows...
