Therapy is great. But have some Americans had too much? | Arwa Mahdawi

A new lesbian dating show drummed the point home to me: therapy speak is now ubiquitous

Every evening, after we put our toddler to bed, my wife and I sit down to share our learnings for the day and strategise for the future. We talk about how we can help each other achieve our full potential and how we can show up for each other while ensuring we maintain safe spaces to focus on ourselves. Only kidding ... we collapse on the couch and watch Netflix.

The latest thing we have been binging is a reality TV dating show called The Ultimatum: Queer Love. It is about a bunch of queer women being incredibly messy and dating each other's exes. I was beyond excited when I discovered this show, because there is nothing I love more than lesbian chaos (except, perhaps, baked potatoes) and - despite the fact that it makes extremely compelling television - there are hardly any lesbian dating shows out there.
