I’ve found myself listening less and less because of her co-host. I feel like Dr. Sarah does a good job of incorporating her personal life and experiences without it taking away from the topic at hand. However, I find her co-host’s additions to the conversations a little distracting and am often times not sure what I, the listener, should “do” with that info. (I know I don’t need to “do” anything with the info…I just mean her mid-podcast revelations about her son, marriage, ex, etc. can feel really heavy and distracting in the moment.) Also, I recognize that others may enjoy this style of podcast where they both share and go back and forth, and that’s totally fine! In case I’m not the only one feeling like this, though, I wanted to write a review. Overall, this is a helpful podcast and I do recommend it to people.
I enjoy this podcast when the Dr. Hensley is informing and teaching. I don’t mind a touch on personal experiences and for some reason the personal experiences of Dr. Hensley don’t seem to bother me too much BUT I am hearing WAY too much of the co-host interjecting her personal life and issues into this podcast. I feel Dr. Hensley has better grasp on the appropriate amount of sharing but the cohost is overboard and constantly interjecting. Almost talking over her at some points. This is coming from a good place as I really do enjoy learning and Love this content minus the overly personal information. It’s hard to share this with my husband as I think he can learn from this podcast but I know he doesn’t care to hear about personal issues. Please see if y’all can tailor that back. Thanks!
This show and Dr Hensley’s other resources have helped me SO much! As an FA currently healing from an FA/DA relationship it really helps to understand what happened and how not to do it again. I would love an episode on what a healthy grieving process looks like 🙏
I first learn about attachment theory on your tik tok and I was shocked. I was like how does this woman explained my relationship to exact T and never met me? It was so eye opening and validating and gave me so much clarity that I felt at ease. I am FA and my husband is DA. Dynamic is so toxic for 13 years and I have 3 year old now. I brought your tik tok videos about FA and DA dynamic to our couples therapist and he found it interesting. But I was questioning him why he hasn’t brought up yet about attachment theory for 11 months beeing in couples counceling. I felt robed of time. I don’t understand why couples therapist don’t bring that up at all ? You are amazing and I will be joining your group in the future! I love every single episode! It’s part of my self care routine.
I LOVE the podcast but the ads are killing it. They are not relevant to the content and are popping up randomly in the middle of the conversation. I’d love to continue listening but will not listen again unless the ads are more thoughtfully integrated.
