Why Couples Divorce AFTER Therapy: The Shocking Truth

What if I told you that many couples actually end up divorced AFTER investing time, energy, and money into couples therapy? This isn't a dramatic claim—it's statistically grounded reality that no one talks about. In this eye-opening episode of the Reforged Podcast, licensed professional counselor Scott Austin Martin reveals the uncomfortable truth about why traditional talk therapy often fails couples, and sometimes even accelerates their breakup. As both a therapist who gives therapy and someone who has received it, Scott isn't here to bash the profession—he's here to expose what's broken and show you what actually works. You'll discover why "just talking" doesn't heal the heart, how some therapy actually gives couples better vocabulary to fight with, and the three science-backed relationship models that have proven success rates: The Gottman Method (90% divorce prediction accuracy), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Human Needs Psychology. Scott breaks down the real reasons relationships fail—from the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse to unhealed childhood wounds—and explains why most therapy only puts a Band-Aid over a bullet wound instead of addressing the root causes. If you've been disappointed by couples counseling, feel stuck despite professional help, or want to understand what truly creates lasting love, this episode will change how you think about relationship healing forever.
