Jon Gosselin On Couples Therapy Finally Breaks 'Kate' Relationship Cycle [VIDEO] Farrah Abraham Explosive Fight With Her Mom, Sada And Taylor Armstrong Spill Childhood Abuse

Jon Gosselin on Couples Therapy finally broke his dangerous 'Kate' relationship cycle reguarding being treated by women the way his ex, Kate Gosselin, did. Jon decided during a Couples Therapy session with Dr. Jenn that he must stand up for himself if he wants respect in his new relationship. Girlfriend Liz constantly puts Jon Gosselin down and it seemed like Jon was getting involved with another 'Kate' type of woman that calls the shots and makes Jon feel bad about himself to gain control. But this week on Couples Therapy the doc convinced Jon that he needs to be more assertive with Liz and tell her when things hurt his feeling. She tells Jon, "You need to tell her 'stop that' or 'don't do that' to gain your power back." Thankfully, Jon agreed.

I don't blame Liz for the way she treated Jon. When someone acts like they don't deserve respect, it is very easy to treat them poorly without even recognizing it. If nobody calls you out on your behavior, then why stop? Gosselin really needs to grow a pair if he wants Couples Therapy to work for him. I actually like Liz and I'm glad that she started to recognize the way that she talks to Jon and wants to change. Sada and Taylor really let her know that she shouldn't treat Jon poorly and although she was defensive at first, Liz caught herself talking down to her man and decided to change the way she treats Jon. I can see this relationship lasting if Jon can be more assertive and Liz can take her time with his feelings. They need to take the therapy seriously or their relationship will fall back into the Kate Gosslin cycle and implode.

Dr. Jenn also told Jon that he needs to be more assertive with Liz for her benefit as well. She needs a man to take charge; put her in her place. Without the assertion that Jon can provide, Liz will always be a mean b*tch and feel out of control. This VH1 episode of Couples Therapy was really the most powerful one yet. Besides Jon Gosselin, there was also some explosive therapy sessions including Farrah Abraham and her mom, and Sada and Taylor Armstrong facing their painful childhood abuse.

Farrah Abraham on Couples Therapy was excruciating this week. The porn star and Dr. Jenn welcomed Farrah's mother, Deborah Danielson. The therapy session was explosive and really didn't give Farrah any closure or insight. If you thought Farrah was quick to defend herself, fake, and dumb, then you have got to check out Mommy Dearest Deborah on VH1! This mom puts the Teen Mom parenting skills to shame!

Dr. Jenn tried in couples therapy to get Farrah and her mom to come to an understanding about Farrah's childhood and how it affects her relationships today. But Deborah would not break down her wall, constantly fighting with Abraham and Dr. Jenn in therapy. Looks like her mom has a lot in common with Farrah. They are both too concerned with how they will be perceived on the VH1 show than to actually get the therapy they need and be honest with themselves and each other.

The hardest part of Couples Therapy came when Dr. Jenn flat out told Farrah she'd have to grieve the fact that she'll never have the mom she wants. It seemed like she was more interested in being there to put on a show of being a supportive mom than to actually be one and understand daughter Farrah.

Farrah Abraham has previously said her childhood was abusive and she was constantly ignored. As much as this revelation along with her mother being a complete b*tch makes me want to sympathize with Farrah, I just can''t.

Despite trying to get help on Couples Therapy, Farrah just keeps lying in real life so it is confusing to watch the Teen Mom break down. Farrah claims she was 'drugged and raped' promoting her porn, but Vivid Entertainment is willing to give Farrah one million dolars to take a lie detector test, which Farrah refuses to take! Why? Because she's lying!

I absolutely love Sada and Whitney and I can see why their relationship is so tumultuous, even though they love each other so much.

After Sada poured her heart out, telling the cast and doc about her abusive childhood, the real trouble brewed between Whitney and Sada out of the therapy session.

Sada is needy and wants someone to be there for her all the time. I completely understand Sada because I'm actually very similar to her. We are pushers but deed down we want you to stay. If we push, you pull.

But Whitney doesn't understand this and takes Sada's words at face value. If Sada tells her to go and play pool or that she's going to take a bath, Whitney just assumes she says what she means. But she doesn't. She wants Whitney not to leave her. It's frustrating for Whitney but she must learn this. I wish Dr. Jenn could witness their fights. She's see that the answer is so obvious.

Taylor Armstrong explained her childhood abuse that the doc thinks is the reason she found and stayed with her ex, Russell.
