Sister Wives Go to Therapy
A therapist’s exploration of Sister Wives, one episode at a time. In Sister Wives Go to Therapy, I examine the family dynamics, emotional undercurrents, red flags, and personal development portrayed on screen, through a clinical lens. No diagnoses, just thoughtful reflections on what happens when polygamy, patriarchy, and parentification collide in one complicated family.

Sister Wives Season 2 Episode 10: Gambling on the Future
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
With the move to Las Vegas only three days away, the Browns begin to pack, but when the media gets hold of the news, plans turn into panic.
The Browns flee to Las Vegas, a huge upheaval in the family, and from where I'm sitting, a crisis the parents chose that traumatizes their children. This episode contains moments that the show will flash back to many, many times. It's jam packed with dynamics to comment on: the teenagers holding the emotional weight of the move, the adults (mostly Kody) being disorganized and neglecting their children's needs. There's triangulation, enmeshment, parentification, trauma responses... I have so much to say!
