A psychiatrist is in her office. Three people are on stacked couches beside her.
The couches are like bunk beds.
How is she dealing with three people at once?
And how do you feel about how she feels about how he feels?

Couples therapy is already complex -- pairs of people may have feelings about their partner's feelings. Here, the joke is that if three people were getting therapy together, things would get even more complicated and meta, i.e., person 1 could feel strongly about person 2's feelings about person 3 (and any permutation of such). It's funny to think that these three would be so closely intertwined such that this meta-therapy could be a helpful exercise.
