Welcome to another episode of the Show Up with Sarah Podcast! 

Today’s episode is for those of you who watch Love is Blind. The coach in me really wants to discuss regression that is present in one of the characters of the show. If you don’t know Love is Blind, can you fall in love with a person whom you haven’t seen yet? As controversial as that plot is, we will talk about regression as a defense mechanism that is destructive for a person.
