In Little Women: LA season 7 episode 13, titled "Extreme Therapy," the ladies head to a wellness retreat in Solvang, California, where they participate in different kinds of therapy sessions designed to help them overcome their personal struggles.
The episode starts with the women meeting up at a vineyard, where they catch up and reflect on their journey so far. Tonya and Christy attempt to move on from their past issues, while Terra and Elena talk about their frustrations in their friendship.
The first therapy session involves the women participating in a "scream therapy" session, where they let out all of their pent-up emotions by screaming into the ocean. Despite some initial hesitation, the women embrace the therapy and are able to release some of their bottled-up emotions.
Next, the ladies attend a group therapy session, where they discuss their issues with communication. Elena opens up about her struggles with Terra and her feelings of being left out, while Tonya talks about her fear of confrontation and her tendency to avoid difficult conversations. The therapist also works with the women on effective communication techniques, such as active listening and expressing themselves assertively.
Later, the ladies participate in a nerve-wracking "trust exercise," where they have to rely on their partners to guide them through a maze of obstacles while blindfolded. The exercise is meant to help the women develop trust and communication skills with each other, but it also highlights their existing issues. Terra and Elena struggle to work together, while Tonya and Christy have trouble trusting each other.
In the final therapy session, the women participate in a "mirror therapy" exercise, where they confront their negative self-talk and work on building self-esteem. Each woman takes turns standing in front of a mirror and giving themselves positive affirmations while their teammates offer support and encouragement. These exercises help the women to build each other up and develop a stronger sense of self-worth.
Overall, "Extreme Therapy" is an emotional and enlightening episode that highlights the challenges that the Little Women: LA cast members face in their personal and professional lives. Through the different therapy sessions, the women learn valuable lessons about communication, trust, and self-love, and they come away with a renewed sense of purpose and solidarity.
