The Couples Case That Still Bothers You

A small, focused opportunity to bring a real case to Bill Doherty—
or to learn from the cases of colleagues.

You probably have one.

A case that still lingers a bit.

Not because it was dramatic.

But because you never quite understood what happened.

The couples therapy didn’t land the way you expected.

The arc felt off.

Something about it stay unresolved.

And if you’re honest, part of what makes it linger is this:

You were part of a therapeutic system that  didn't work - but you’re not sure how.

What We Are Offering

This is a small, one-time offering.

We are inviting submissions of real couples therapy cases. From those, about 9–10 will be selected.

Each selected therapist will have:

  • A private, one-hour consultation with Bill
  • Recorded (for learning purposes)
  • No live audience—just you and him in the moment

All participants (whether selected or not) will receive:

  • Access to the full set of recordings
  • A chance to learn from multiple real, unresolved cases

What makes this different

This is not general case consultation. And it’s not about giving you more techniques.

The focus is on understanding:

  • What actually unfolded in the three person clinical system
  • Where things became unclear, subtle, or misread
  • What was unaddressed
  • Traction was never there
  • How similar cases can be approached differently in the future

The goal is clarity.

 Not perfection. Not judgment.

Just a more accurate understanding of what happened and what alternative moves might work better in the future.

Who this is for

If your case is selected:

  • A clearer understanding of what actually happened
  • A way to “put the case to rest” with more confidence
  • Insight you can carry into future work immediately

From the recordings you will get:

  • Exposure to multiple real cases that didn’t follow a clean path
  • A deeper ability to notice patterns in the moment
  • A more grounded sense of how therapists influence the system they’re in

PRICING

$650

FOR EVERYONE

Whether you get time with Bill or just watch the recordings.

This is 9-10 hours of fascinating, real-world conversations, unscripted, untethered to a specific model.

A note about the tone of this work

This is not about being “picked apart.”

It’s about being understood.

The aim is to bring a thoughtful, systemic lens to cases that didn’t fully resolve and to leave with more clarity than you had before.

If a case has stayed with you…

This is a rare chance to revisit it with fresh eyes.

It is not for wild, once in a career cases, however. Nor is it for cases so complicated it’d take a genogram and a full 30 minutes to lay out all the players.

It’s for the one that got away… the case you sit and roll it over in your head at 3am, maybe a few times a year, for the last decade, wondering what you could have done differently.

FAQ:

Does the case have to be really bold or dramatic?

No. We don’t want such rare cases that nobody could relate to the situation. Haunting cases are relatable. Our goal is that everyone listening to yours will find empathy with your experience and think of a similar case of theirs.

Can I submit more than one case?

Yes, but we will only choose one per person.

Will case stories need to details to be hidden?

Yes. This is still a case you need to bury names and identifying details.

Is this only for couples on the brink or Bill-specific training concepts?

No. This is broader and more all-encompassing. You don’t have to be involved in his training material to learn a lot.

Are there CE’s available?

No.

If I’m chosen, is there flexibility in when Bill is available for the hour consult?

We have blocks of time you will register for. The date widows will be May 26-June 23rd. July 13-July 30. August 12-Sept 4th will be opened up if we need to. Work days, weekends, evenings can be made available.

Will the recordings be kept private?

YES – only purchasers who come in already stating they are a therapist can view these.

How long will the recordings be available?

We will for sure keep the recordings for 12-months.

What if my case isn’t selected, can I request a refund?

No. We ask that you pay because you want to learn from all the cases, regardless of whether yours is selected.
