Dr. Sarah Hensley
The Love Doc

I thank God every single day for Sarah. Sarah rescued me from a trauma bond that I had been trapped in for over a decade. On January 30, 2024, I sought help from Sarah because I was in a toxic and abusive cycle. Sarah guided and educated me about the dynamics of this type of relationship. She also supported me through the process of cutting off contact with the abusive person and helped me get a permanent court order to protect me and my family.

Sarah...

I don’t know if you remember me, but I thank God for you every day. I honestly can’t thank you enough for starting my journey toward recovery from my trauma bond. If it hadn't begun with you, I honestly don’t know if I would be here today.

I’ve been no contact with my abuser for almost two years now. I remember when you told me that breaking the addiction to a trauma bond would be as hard as breaking an addiction to heroin—I thought you were crazy at the time. But now, looking back, I truly understand. I want you to know how thankful I am for you, personally. Thank you for testifying for me in court and for the letter. I truly believe I wouldn’t be here without your support.

Because of your help, I’m now coaching survivors in Utah at a place called Passion Community Center. I’m finally sharing my story and helping others find their way to healing. Thank you for everything you’ve done—and for all the work you continue to do.

Hybrid coaching As a disabled veteran (100%) Dr. Hensley's dedication to veterans is amazing. The hybrid coaching along with her podcast, her tic-toks have helped me so much. Unfortunately I didn't find her soon enough to save my marriage but I KNOW things now that will help keep me secure in the future. She is so caring and compassionate, I can't say enough good things about her approach to helping. Thank you for your classes, and the LIFE LONG ACCESS to the material. JUST AMAZING

Thank you For the past few months I have attentively followed you to learn more about attachment styles. I recently let my DA go… it is better for both of us. Although I wish her well, I would have never done it without receiving the information you put out online.

Thank you… I can now move forward.

Amazing program. Worth every penny! My partner and I learned so much about our attachment styles and my attachment trauma through Dr. Hensley‘s course. From watching her social media content, we had figured out I was very likely a dismissive avoidant, mostly living in my sympathetic nervous system in a state of freeze. I learned that I emotionally suppress, and “deactivate” in relationships. As a 44-year-old never married woman, this course helped me understand myself so much better. My boyfriend says I’m a completely different person (in our relationship) after just six weeks of Dr. Hensley‘s program. I am now able to describe my thought world to him and emotionally process in real time, instead of stuffing my emotions and dealing with them days or weeks later (or never). I’m definitely still a work in progress, but I’m so grateful to have found this course. I wish the whole world could take this course because being in relationship is one of the most challenging parts of our human experience. Thank you Dr. Hensley for creating this content! You’re doing God’s work to help humanity!

Hybrid group I'm a former Fearful avoidant. I've experienced so much pain, been so dysfunctional and was always dysregulated. For every one considering taking Dr. Sarahs course, do it!! It was the best 899$ spent of my life. The inner peace you experience. You get the tools and they work so well.
Dr. Sarah is the most wonderful & competent psychologist. Thank you

Amazing Sarah is so full of knowledge and does an AMAZING job at teaching you the tools needed to earn your attachment security. It's hard work, but worth the journey. I truly appreciate everything she has taught me, and will continue to use her tools daily until I get there. Thank you so much for all you do!

Five Stars: Highly Recommend! Sarah's course is truly life changing. She not only educates, but gives real life and realistic tools to transform from insecure attachment to secure. I know I have a long journey ahead of me to practice and reinforce my secure behavior but I am confident that I can use her practical tools to get there, and have already seen so much change in myself in a few short weeks. I have so much hope and believe in myself to truly transform. The goal isn't perfection but awareness and redirecting/reframing when triggers happen.

Amazing I highly recommend her! She is practical, intelligent and brings real life applications to the situations of life. This has been life changing and brought me a level of freedom that I needed.

Becoming securely attached Sarah's course covers so many important areas about the best way to shift towards becoming securely attached - it helped me make so much sense of what I recently experienced and I can confidently state that I am becoming a better man thanks to the information she shares with it. I am excited to get to speak 1:1 and in the meantime I am giving the course another pass, making sure to practice more of the activities she shares in the various modules as I deeply appreciate the difference each method makes for my overall wellbeing. I am so thankful for a dear female friend of mine who pointed me in this direction - it has made an amazing difference for the better during a challenging part of my life.

Dr Sarah holds the key to attachment security! I did individual coaching and the hybrid group coaching with Dr Sarah and I can absolutely hands down attest to the fact that it was the most enlightening, informative and transformative experience I've had in my adult life. After going through 35 years of therapy (I'm 40 now), I have actually never truly understood my attachment style AND learned the tools to change it. The group coaching was incredible and taught me skills to regulate my nervous system in a way that was easy to understand and implement, and the individual coaching was just as integrative. Dr Sarah is one of those unique psychologists/experts who GENUINELY cares. If you want to transform your life and relationship, and find inner peace, Dr Sarah has the golden keys to the castle. Do her group or individual coaching; it'll be the best gift you could ever give to yourself!

Life Changing This online course was life changing for me. Knowing that my partner and I were stuck in a "loop of doom" due to our attachment styles was not enough to help us get out of it. Sarah's step by step processes, information, guidance, and anecdotal conversations opened a whole new process for us. Sarah shared real life experiences with us that gave us not only the feeling that we were not alone in our disfunction but also that there was hope that we could heal ourselves and our relationship! She does not sugar coat the process. Repeatedly tells us that it will take commitment, time and effort, and also reassures us that it is completely worth it. My partner and I both found her to be real, honest, compassionate, relatable, informative and willing to go out of her way to really speak to our individual issues and questions. Totally worth it!

REGULATING THE NERVOUS SYTEM AND LIVING WITH CLARITY AND CERTAINTY! Dr Hensley (Coach Sarah) has changed my life in effectively and efficiently coaching me to build skills that significantly increase my ability to manage unnecessary relationship stress and eliminate ineffective communication in my most crucial relationships. Her coaching streamlines countless sessions common in most therapy / counseling. Instead, Coach Sarah teaches simple and easy to learn - yet PROFOUND and effective problem-solving techniques as they relate to controlling our thoughts, emotions, and conflict resolution. Her protocols are so effective and produce immediate results, that you are inspired with increase confidence and CLARITY! She is so gifted as a coach that even when presented with a new approach to dealing with old habits, I found that I was decisively onboard with all of her methodologies and strategies. Lastly, as a veteran, law enforcement officer, husband, father, and leader, I believe EVERY man that is looking to increase skill in self-regulating how he responds to and manages relationship chaos should take her coaching! It will forever change their life and the lives of those they love most as a result.

Highly recommend If there was an option for 10 stars I’d give her a 10!! Sarah has played a major role in the 180 degree turn in my marriage! Learning about our attachment styles has helped us have more understanding, compassion and knowledge of each other. Sarah has given us the keys to the Kingdom and my husband and I have never been in a better place than we are now in our 16 years of marriage. I have had bad experiences with counseling/coaching and I’ve been so skeptical. Sarah doesn’t spend your session being a mediator but rather a coach with tools and the best part is, it’s not a life long commitment. She gives you the tools and when you implement them, they work and you don’t need to continue paying and scheduling. I highly recommend!

Attachment Style Coaching My husband and I got more out of four weeks of Dr. Hensley's attachment coaching course than we did out of literal years of couples and individual therapy. Despite both giving our best efforts in therapy, we never felt that we made meaningful progress. This course succeeds where sometimes therapy can fail because it teaches invaluable skills and gives a concrete plan of action. Dr. Hensley gives a thorough explanation of each attachment style so partners can better understand themselves and each other, but the real magic is in learning the *how* of communication. For the first time in a long time, we both feel true hope that we can resolve some longstanding roadblocks using Dr. Hensley's framework. It will take commitment and practice, but this course teaches the way to get out of your head and into your body so you can truly hear and be heard. We are thrilled we made the investment in our marriage, and are very grateful for Dr. Hensley and her work.

Group coaching is amazing! Dr. Hensley literally teaches you how to EXECUTE attachment security. I learned that understanding is NOT the key to change. All therapy gave me was understanding. I still didn't have capacity to be a good partner during conflict. I would yell and shut down. I struggled to apologize, and it would take me days to get over a small conflict. I'm a true FA! When my DA partner would not answer my texts or pleas for resolution--I would get super anxious. Now, my partner and I can work out any conflict in about 10 minutes using the conflict resolution plan Dr. Hensley provides her in group coaching. It prevents defensiveness and blame shifting, and it forces us to actually LISTEN and understand each other and focus forward on a specific resolution. We no longer fight over who is right. PEACE for the first time in our marriage! Thank you Dr. Hensley!

A transforming and pivotal experience Discovering that my struggles are not unique and that there's a shared experience among individuals with similar attachment styles has been a profound revelation for me. It's shifted my perception, transforming the loneliness I once felt into a connection with a community facing similar challenges. This newfound understanding has allowed me to approach my situation with greater empathy, not only towards myself but also towards my partner.

The concept of attachment styles, previously unfamiliar to both my partner and me, has become a cornerstone in our journey. The coaching sessions have been instrumental in broadening our knowledge and introducing us to invaluable tools and techniques. Together, we're navigating uncharted territories, armed with insights that not only strengthen our bond but also foster personal growth.

Successful approach I’ve been to individual and couples counseling in the past but attachment theory really resonated with me. I actually guessed my own attachment style incorrectly before coaching with Sarah. I’ve gained skills to regulate my own thoughts and nervous system. My ex coached with Sarah individually as well. While neither of us are ‘cured’ we both have a new understanding of ourselves and each other. There’s nothing better than a partner who truly wants to understand you. We are back together with more insight and tools to move forward and manage our inevitable triggers. I am continuing to coach with Sarah so I don’t relapse into old patterns.

I was hesitant reaching out to a stranger from the internet, but I resonated with what I heard. The love of my life wanted a divorce and everything I was doing was solidifying her position. I made my appointment online and it couldn't come fast enough. At first, I was just happy to have someone listen. Dr. Sarah understood me, AND she seemed to understand my wife as well. Dr. Sarah's advice made sense, but it wasn't easy. I failed more than once, but Dr. Sarah's grace and direction put me back on track. Each meeting I scheduled couldn't come fast enough until things started clicking - for me AND my relationship. Today, at 57 years old, I'm in a better place both personally and relationally than I ever have been. My wife and I just celebrated our ten year anniversary and we couldn't be happier. Thank You from the bottom of my heart!!!
