The Parent Trap | How Caretaking Kills Desire [Room for Two Preview]

What this episode covers

Johnny is done being controlled. His faith shift made him realize just how much every decision he ever made was shaped by others — and he's not interested in that anymore. In his newfound freedom, he's been experimenting with substances in a way that's unsettling for June. When she says something about his choices, he responds like a rebellious adolescent. Staying quiet feels easier, of course, but Johnny's choices are having a real impact on her, and she's not sure where her responsibility ends and his begins. In this preview episode of Room for Two, Dr. Finlayson-Fife works with Johnny and June around the parent/child dynamic that is stifling the intimacy in their relationship.
