Their chosen therapist, Dr Judy Small, becomes a source of chaos and confusion instead of helping the couple.

As the plot progresses, Susan and Bob are drawn further and further into the absurd world of flawed therapy. Their lives are affected in unexpected ways and their relationship is put to the test.

Through comical and disturbing situations, the film explores the challenges and dynamics of couplehood, as well as the effects of ineffective therapy.

"Bad Therapy" attempts to combine elements of comedy and drama to offer an entertaining and thoughtful look at human relationships and the pursuit of happiness.
