'Where Should We Begin?' lets you eavesdrop on couples talking about their problems in a recorded therapy session.

The person helping these people confront issues like infidelity, divorce and bereavement is Belgian psychotherapist Esther Perel who is a TED talk sensation, a bestselling writer, and she's got a great voice too! And in case you're wondering who'd open themselves up to this degree of public scrutiny and appear on the show, apparently thousands of couples volunteered to have a free 3-hour counselling session and feature on the podcast.

This is the first episode of Season 3 of 'Where Should We Begin? The Arc of Love' from Audible, it's called "Young Love', and it's all about a couple in their mid-20s trying to make a cross-border relationship work: she's in Mexico and he's in Texas.

'Where Should We Begin? The Arc of Love' is exclusively available at Audible.

Note: Season 3 is free for new Audible customers with a 30-day trial, or for 1 credit with a $16.45/month membership. (The first two seasons of the show are also still available wherever you get your podcasts.)
