Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Love Doc Relationship Coaching Services with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting, LLC. 

Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind’s complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.

Episode 20, Season 2: "Monthly Q&A with Dr. Hensley – Questions from Our Private Facebook Community"

In this month’s special Q&A edition of The Love Doc Podcast, Dr. Sarah Hensley opens the floor to you—our loyal listeners and members of the Love Doc Clients & Community Facebook group. After reading through dozens of insightful and deeply personal questions submitted by the community, Dr. Hensley sits down to answer as many as she can in one heartfelt episode. These are real questions from real people—many of whom are courageously navigating the complexities of insecure attachment, emotional neglect, and the challenges of modern relationships.

As expected, a major theme emerges: the Dismissive Avoidant attachment style—that emotionally elusive, often misunderstood blueprint that so many of you struggle to make sense of. Why do they retreat just as things start to feel close? Can they truly change? What does healing look like with someone who seems emotionally unavailable? Dr. Hensley dives deep into these questions, unpacking the psychology of avoidance while also addressing broader themes such as self-abandonment, boundary setting, and nervous system regulation in love and partnership.

If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Why do I love people who can’t meet me halfway?”—this episode will feel like a conversation you’ve needed for years.

And if you’re not yet part of the free, private Love Doc Clients & Community group, consider this your invitation to join a supportive, trauma-informed space where you can connect, ask questions anonymously, and receive guidance grounded in science and compassion. ➡️ Join the group here.

Month after month from here on out Dr. Hensley will be answering your most pressing questions directly on the podcast. Keep your questions coming—because your healing matters here.
