The Ex Files

The Ex-Files is a social experiment dealing with repetitive relationship patterns. Hosted by a charismatic Clinical Psychologist; this social experiment provides a unique opportunity for the participants to explore their relationship issues by consulting the people that know them best - their exes, close family members and friends - as life coaches/counsellors/teachers, and embrace change which is often easier said than done. Will our participants be able to face their past and stomach the advice given from the best and worst relationships of their life or will their defensive walls stay in place? It is one thing to acknowledge a need for change, but a whole other to take that leap.
