Amid all the drama, the show made fans uncomfortable with a group date that doubled as a therapy session.Episode 3 consisted of two group dates and a one-on-one date. During the first group date, the chosen ladies and Clayton Echard were welcomed by former The Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe into a dark auditorium.As the girls entered, they could see a figure sitting on a chair. As the lights focused on a particular area, Bristowe was seen inviting everyone to form a circle and talk about their insecurities.

The ladies and Echard opened up about how some of them have faced body shaming and racism in the past.Here’s why fans didn’t appreciate the sessionBefore airing that particular portion, the show's producers gave a warning. It read:“The subject contains material that may be disturbing to some viewers. Viewer's discretion is advised.”While the contestants were shown to be comfortable in sharing their vulnerabilities, fans found it forced. They felt that these things should not have been part of a group date and should have been expressed privately to Echard.Other believe that such sessions need to be conducted by experts and therapists and should not be displayed on a dating series.Here’s what netizens have to say:Ashley@ashleyfamu2014Trauma bonding is not healthy. #TheBachelor07:15 AM · Jan 25, 20223Trauma bonding is not healthy. #TheBachelor♡@tvgoldtweetsTheir stories are important but Clayton and the women shouldn't be made to open up like this if they don't want to #TheBachelor07:15 AM · Jan 25, 202271Their stories are important but Clayton and the women shouldn't be made to open up like this if they don't want to #TheBachelor https://t.co/kM4zAqij1xMike 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 🚀@mike_h1990If you want to open up and be vulnerable with Clayton, it should be done in private, one on one.
