Episode 41, Season 2: Q&A From The Love Doc Client and Community Facebook Group

In this special Q&A episode of The Love Doc Podcast, host Dr. Sarah Hensley and co-host Raina Butcher answer real questions straight from The Love Doc Clients and Community Facebook group. Dr. Hensley and Raina tackle issues ranging from understanding why dismissive avoidants (DA) may struggle with honesty, establishing healthy boundaries without escalating conflict, to gaslighting, the differences between verbal abuse and emotional abuse, and practical strategies for communicating attachment styles in a way that avoidant partners can actually hear. This episode explores the nuanced psychology behind avoidant behavior and relational patterns.

Grounded in psychology but focused on real-world application, this episode offers insight, validation, and actionable guidance for anyone trying to build secure relationships, improve communication, and navigate attachment dynamics with clarity and self-respect.
