Stacey Silva Discusses Therapy’s Impact on Her Relationship with Darcey
Escalating Tensions at the Retreat
“I think we get triggered and play the blame game a little bit,”she reflected.
During the retreat in Arizona, a setting intended to foster healing, Stacey was simultaneously working on her marriage with her husband, Florian Sukaj. As the sisters navigated their tumultuous relationship, Stacey felt overwhelmed by what she perceived as Darcey’s excessive involvement in her life. A pivotal moment arose when Stacey confronted Darcey about her frequent conversations with Florian, causing significant rifts between them.
“Do you want to f**k my husband?”
This confrontation ignited a fierce argument, with Darcey vehemently denying any inappropriate intentions. Their heated exchange underscored the deep-seated concerns they both held regarding their relationship. Darcey made an urgent plea, emphasizing:
“If we don’t fix this now, we’re gone. We’re done.”
Stacey later reflected that this confrontation was a transformative moment at the retreat, catalyzing their need for change.
Therapy’s Essential Role in Healing
“It was a blessing to have her at the retreat and get some counseling,” Stacey stated.
Stacey detailed how valuable the therapy sessions were in addressing their conflicts and facilitating understanding. The retreat provided a much-needed opportunity to evaluate their sibling dynamic and develop strategies for fostering a healthier relationship. Darcey acknowledged that their instinctive emotional reactions were often misdirected as blame, asserting:
“At the end of the day, we shouldn’t be doing that. We should just be rising above and being a dynamic duo and a force to be reckoned with.”
Through therapy, both sisters learned to communicate more effectively, with Darcey emphasizing her desire for Stacey’s success while asserting her own need to be heard in discussions.
Looking Ahead: A Renewed Relationship
“For us, being vulnerable is healing, and this journey was very healing,” Stacey expressed.
Post-retreat, both sisters reported significant improvements in their relationship. Darcey pointed out their commitment to support one another, stating they ultimately rely on each other beyond their marriages. She noted that overcoming their emotional triggers had been a positive step forward.
When asked to describe the state of their relationship after the retreat, both Stacey and Darcey agreed on the sentiment of being “fun-loving.”Stacey mentioned they had entered a “different era” in their lives, embracing their 50s with renewed vigor. Darcey concurred:
“We elevated for sure. We’re raising the bar. And hopefully, it’s an inspiration to others as well.”
