Therapist Breaks Down Love is Blind’s Marshall & Jackie | A Story About Self-Sabotage

I would like for them to do one season of love is blind for ages 35-50. I’m curious to see the dynamic if it is an older group. I wonder if the games and immaturity would be a factor.

When Vanessa said “the people wanna know what’s next for Josh and Jackie” I was like, what people?!

Your breakdown of Vanessa and Nick's lack of compassion towards Marshall was so spot on. Not only did he have to deal with Jackie, but he was then re-traumatized at the reunion. Very unfair to him

I’d definitely love a video about Micah’s friend Shelby. The fact that she single-handedly ended a lot of Micah’s relationships is very concerning

And yet no one asked Jackie why she even auditioned for the show if she didn’t want marriage…..they really dropped the ball at the reunion to get the right questions answered

I would love to see a breakdown of Brett and Tiffany –All the GREEN flags and subtle compatibility qualities that are EASY to miss but KEY to their success 💚

it's worth exploring Marshall's feelings towards Jackie, especially since he viewed her as a "project". This sheds light on Marshall's motivations for staying in the relationship, even after receiving warnings from Jackie. It may be helpful to understand why Marshall was drawn to the idea of "fixing" Jackie and what this meant for their dynamic .

Fellow therapist here and I too took early notes. When they first released cast photos on IG, I noticed Jackie’s quote said she was there to find her daddy…joke or not, my note was questioning her intentions

I’m so glad you spoke on Vanessa cuz yea she was a mean girl towards him. Jackie didn’t wanna face the consequences of her actions just like Micah. I don’t think Marshall is perfect but he did not deserve that!

Can you do one for Micha and Irena. I think they should get their own episode.

Vanessa drove me CRAZY in the Reunion. Thank you so much for vocalising it!

I was cringing every single time she mentioned them having babies. Isn’t that like a known thing that that can be a sensitive topic for people & that we shouldn’t ask about it? I’ve had 1 friend who had a miscarriage who shared how uncomfortable & sad it was for her to have people ask about having babies while she was going through it & I’ve never asked people about it again (unless they bring it up first). I feel like Vanessa should know that.

Marshal actually came out and said he was mad at Josh because Josh told another girl in the pods the same line he told Jackie about leaving it it ain’t her

I hope the individuals in this show watch this and look internally because this is a free session right here lol

Marshall dodged a HUGH cluster phuck by not being with that disaster. He's too much of a man for her. I hope he finds a wonderful woman ❤

Jackie had mentioned in the pods that she was raised "hard." She goes out of her way to hide when she's crying or sad. Her "sad" feelings seemed to translate into anger and shutting down. When we're raised in an environment where showing feelings or vulnerability is unacceptable, you shut down your feelings instead of showing them. I think she felt seen and validated by Marshall because he's great at creating a safe space for her to be vulnerable and supported. However, we go back to what we're familiar with. She was probably really uncomfortable with having someone support her because she wasn't used to it. I know from experience I had a hard time being ok with someone comforting me because I always wondered when they would "leave me" or not wanting to get "dependent" on someone's support because I told myself it was weak to need or want it. I hope she and Marshall find happiness; whatever that looks like for them.

Honestly the nail in the coffin for me on Jackie was that in the reunion she says she and josh didn’t start dating or whatever until after her and Marshall broke it off but in the break up scene she literally tells Marshall that she JUST met with Josh. Like girl, get your story straight

Tacky Jackie should be her name. Your characterization of Jackie as being tacky for kissing Josh on camera was so spot on. She was also tacky when she told him on that same date that hearing his voice at Chelsea’s party made her nip hard. Like, gross 🤮 keeping the ring was also tacky.

On Jackie and Marshall I think she skipped the reunion because she knew she was wrong. Didn’t want to take questions and have to defend herself. Proud people show up ready to shine.

I’d like to nominate Steph Anya to be the new host/ therapist for Love Is Blind!! How do we get this network on the phone to let them know that the Lachey’s are fired?! 😂
