    I LOVE this show and learn so much! You ladies are such a blessing. I want to listen to all the episodes, but the ads are incredibly loud and repetitive. It is hard to stick with it. The transition from your sweet, compassionate voices to actual screaming is jarring. Can this be adjusted? Thank you for what you do!!

  • Amazing podcast!

    I appreciate your podcast. It is very helpful. I Just think Rayna sort of talks a lot and rambles a little sometimes. Especially in episode 3 with Sarah’s daughter. Talk more Sarah please.

  • Grateful My Wife Didn’t Follow This Advice

    When it comes to reviews, I'm generally of the mindset that “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all,” but I felt it would be irresponsible not to speak out.

    I wanted to give The Love Doc a chance because I’ve been thinking a lot about love, attraction, and connection recently, and I was curious to hear a real discussion between two women on these topics. I figured that since one was a social psychologist, there would certainly be some science involved. I was wrong. Wh... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Attachment Styles & Relationships: Q&A with Dr. Sarah Hensley | E10
Q: How should co-parenting communication be handled when ex-partners have trust issues or ongoing conflicts?
Focus on children's wellbeing, set firm boundaries about discussing the other parent in front of the kids, use parenting apps for verifiable communication, and maintain a stance of not engaging in relationship talk during co-parenting exchanges.
Attachment Styles & Relationships: Q&A with Dr. Sarah Hensley | E10
Q: What should someone do about a current relationship when one partner is highly avoidant and emotionally unavailable, especially regarding therapy?
If the partner is truly emotionally unavailable, couples therapy may be counterproductive. Prioritize individual healing and safety, and consider therapy only when both partners are capable of engaging in vulnerable work without triggering dysregulation.
Attachment Styles & Relationships: Q&A with Dr. Sarah Hensley | E10
Q: For people who have reached security, how long does it take to see change after starting the work, and how does this vary by attachment style?
Answers vary widely, from several months to a couple of years, depending on the severity of attachment wounds at the start and how consistently the person engages with the tools and practices. Even after early gains, ongoing practice is essential.
Attachment Styles & Relationships: Q&A with Dr. Sarah Hensley | E10
Q: If someone has an anxious or avoidant pattern, how can they distinguish genuine safety signals from learned mistrust in a partner?
By strengthening their own nervous system safety, learning to read red flags accurately, and differentiating between fear-driven interpretations and actual evidence of safety. This involves emotional processing, boundary setting, and consistent, healthy communication.
Attachment Styles & Relationships: Q&A with Dr. Sarah Hensley | E10
Q: Is it possible that people with insecure attachment are unconsciously attracted to insecure partners due to familiarity rather than love?
Yes. Insecure attachment patterns tend to attract others with similar dysregulated nervous systems, creating a self-fulfilling loop. However, building attachment security and recognizing red flags can shift future dating choices toward healthier dynamics.
