In season 1 episode 5 of Family Therapy with Dr. Jenn, titled "Secrets," the focus is on the secrets that are kept within families and how they can affect relationships and communication. The episode features five different families, each with their own unique set of secrets that have yet to be revealed.

The first couple is a father and daughter team who have been estranged for several years. The daughter holds a secret that she feels will break her father's heart, but she also believes that revealing the secret will help them move forward and rebuild their relationship. Dr. Jenn helps the father and daughter work through their issues and eventually come to a place of healing.

The second family is dealing with infidelity and the effects it has had on their relationship. The husband has been unfaithful, but has not been completely honest with his wife about the extent of his actions. The wife's trust has been shattered and she struggles to forgive her husband, while also grappling with her own feelings of inadequacy. Dr. Jenn helps the couple work through their issues, including the importance of honesty in the healing process.

The third family is a blended family dealing with the challenges of combining two households. The couple has children from previous relationships and the children have shown resistance to accepting each other as siblings. A secret that is revealed during therapy sessions adds another layer of complexity to the family's dynamic and ultimately impacts their ability to move forward.

The fourth family is dealing with the effects of addiction on their relationship. One partner is struggling with substance abuse and has kept their addiction a secret from their partner. The partner feels betrayed and unable to trust their significant other and is struggling to decide whether or not to end the relationship altogether.

The fifth family is a mother and daughter who are dealing with the impact of the mother's own childhood trauma on their relationship. The mother has kept her traumatic experiences a secret from her daughter and it has led to a breakdown in communication and strained relationship. Dr. Jenn helps the mother and daughter work through the trauma and find a way to move forward together.

Throughout the episode, Dr. Jenn emphasizes the importance of honesty and communication in building and maintaining healthy relationships. She guides each family through their specific issues and helps them find a path to healing and reconciliation.
