A Therapeutic Dose

Therapy is our eternal Valentine! And it seems the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are starting to embrace it, too! We got to see Erika’s insightful therapist offer her guidance, and then watch Erika apply none of it. We got to hear how much FUN Mauricio is having in couples therapy, and then watch Kyle actively detest everything about him. Meanwhile, vodka is Sutton’s therapist. Time to help yourself to a crab leg & a Belgian waffle, wash it down with your BYOOcean-Spray, and steady yourself - without a railing - as you take this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

Ramona (finally) remembered to include the links about iPhone games help with PTSD:

The Beverly Hills Housewives wrap up their trip to Spain with Sutton saying a heartfelt farewell to her past, Erika taking the express train from Expectation City to Resentment Town, and Ramona & Margee discovering that the origin story of “cringe” is… Dorit! For added entertainment, Ramona’s phone took today’s recording session to show off all the noises it can make! So grab a Coca-Cola Normale, position yourself up-wind of any scattering ash, and “take a moment” for this week’s A Therapeutic Dose! 

Lord Have Merce-y! Grief got us good this week. Most of the Housewives cried in this episode, as do ALL of the hosts of A Therapeutic Dose. From “sleeper ketamine” to birth trauma, from overpriced ancient fans to the most boring paella feast of The Mighty Erudite-y, Ramona & Margee get into it all! So take a Zofran (per Ramona), drink your fluids (per Rob), and have a listen to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

In an episode where the answer to the question “What are you wearing?” is “I slept for one hour,” everything was a nonsensical mess in this week’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Sutton was doing prop comedy with a man’s ashes in a snack bag. Dorit was speaking cartoon-grade Spanish. And Annemarie just continues her reign as Queen Turd of the world. There were threats of ghosts, and glimpses of glam, but other than that, the Beverly Hills Housewives seemed to go all the way to Spain just to serve up another nothingburger. Well, at least Chef Storm was a dish! Now go on and slip into your Rocky’s Market sweatpants, tuck yourself into your twin-beds-pushed-together, and get cozy for this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

The latest episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was a disjointed mess of Sutton on a fireside Reformer, Erika posing for pics with a pink grandma, and Dorit introducing Paula Abdul introducing Taylor Dane to sing for oral health equality, I guess? Somehow, all of that chaotic content inspired conversation between Ramona & Margee about the delights of République and the shortcomings of La Mer. But the episode really centered around AnneMarie, revealing that 8½ may have been a generous assessment of her attributes. Time to be a brave little toaster and plug in for this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

Why Creme de la Mer is some BS:

Mental health took center stage on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and we are here for all of the honest discussions about PTSD, su*cide, and grief. In other news, Garcelle’s love for her boys is as pure as their indifference to her lasagne. Kyle seems to have officially replaced one Mau(ricio) with another Mo(rgan). And we need more beta-blocked Blane, and no more massively-off-the-mark Anne Marie! Time to grab a cantaloupe skewer and younger woman to feed it to, and settle in for this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills welcome us back from the holiday break with further confirmation that Dorit is an out of touch asshat, that being surrounded by sudden/extreme skinniness is a mind f*ck, and that the ghost of Big Kathy is a bird murderer! Ramona & Margee also take a minute to reminisce about stripping down to secure their SAG cards. So set some appropriate boundaries with any fiery-tempered Irish Aries’ in your life, and then settle in for this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!  

As we head into the holidays, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills wished us a Martyr Christmas and a Victim-y New Year by offering us its version of gold, frankincense, and myrrh - eating disorders, alcoholism, and Sal! The ladies’ attempts at comedy resulted in drama. Rob’s steak tasting resulted in unwelcome ASMR. And Dorit resulted in all things awful. Thank god for Kim’s kleenex bringing a little levity to an otherwise contentious evening. So, gather ‘round all you Bot C*nts and Dick Wads - it’s time to tune into this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

Maybe it’s the imminence of the holidays? Maybe it’s the charged relationship dynamics between the women of Beverly Hills? Whatever it is, something about this week's RHOBH stirred up a LOT in Ramona & Margee. They’ve had it with everyone putting on a show to try to disguise the truth. Stop trying to make us believe your marriage is unbroken, Kyle, or that 16 ounces of vodka is a reasonable mid-morning snack, Sutton. Stop trying to sell us on your husband finding you unimpressive in every way is great news, Annemarie, or that you deserve a Vegas residency more than victims deserve to be compensated, Erika. And for the love of god, stop including scenes that are 90% people ordering meat and specifying cooking temperatures, editors! It’s time to grab yourself a bowl of Frosted Flakes (dry or with whole milk), chew in a way that is mindful of the size of your throat’s butthole, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

What a week for our Real Housewives of Beverly Hills! Denise finds herself in the Upside Down… jacket. Sutton chews the scenery as she smokes a joint. And Kyle smugly jogs and stretches and like ohmygod okay we get it you’re fit now, Kyle. Congratulations and shut up.

Also, all the women point fingers, calling out each other’s drinking habits. So, who IS the problem drinker in the group?... Best guess? Everyone! Time to grab your paper mâché hand to press play, and listen to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!
