Synopsis: This video series is couples counselling… but for Security and Dev. (cyber security)
Security and Dev are basically a stressed-out couple who can’t communicate. They bicker with each other in this script, going back and forth, a bit rude at times. Agent Patchwell (therapist) is there to guide them and come to a resolution.

– Security is the anxious partner. Everything feels urgent.
They’re shouting “THIS IS ON FIRE” all day long.
They feel ignored and unappreciated.
– Dev is the overworked, overwhelmed partner. They’re buried in tasks.
They’ve gone numb to alarms.
– Agent Patchwell is the calm therapist in the room. He listens, calls out both sides gently,
and reframes the problem so they can actually move forward.
