Doctor Sarah Hensley on Instagram: "Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get said enough… The family court system is broken. It’s a system that’s supposed to protect families, especially the most vulnerable. But far too often, it ends up re-traumatizing victims—especially survivors of emotional, physical, or financial abuse. I see clients every day who are emotionally drained, financially bankrupt, and completely disillusioned by a system that drags on for years and still offers no real resol

They were neglected so now they neglect you. It’s all they know. It seems cruel, but they don’t even SEE it, and they don’t understand it when you criticize them. #love #relationships #avoidantattachment #dismissiveavoidant"

🥰 My sweet sweet AP’s. I know I rarely talk about them in my content but it’s because they’re the attachment style I see the least in my practice. I’m happy to announce I did an entire podcast episode on the Anxious Pre-Occupied set to release in two weeks. 🥰Here’s the cliff notes version. A lot of my clients come to me thinking they’re AP when in reality after my assessment they learn that they’re actually FA (fearful avoidant). The nuances between the two attachment styles are actually quite

🚨 Can we talk seriously for a second about the Fearful Avoidant attachment style? Here’s the hard truth ⬇️ ✨ Fearful Avoidants struggle with zero self-trust. ✨ They carry a deep betrayal wound that makes them doubt others and themselves. ✨ They chronically overthink—not because they like it, but because it feels safer to live in their head than to actually feel what’s in their body. This constant cycle of self-doubt and overthinking leads to: 💔 Choosing poor partners 💔 Ignoring red flags 💔 S

🥀 Get ready with me while I explain the Most Painful Relationship Dynamic—and how to fix it. 🫶 The most painful attachment pairing is hands down the Fearful Avoidant Dismissive Avoidant dynamic. Here’s why ⬇️ 👉 The Fearful Avoidant (FA) carries deep abandonment and betrayal wounds. They crave closeness but fear it at the same time. They want intimacy, but their nervous system screams “danger” when they get it. 👉 The Dismissive Avoidant (DA), on the other hand, carries a wound of emotional ne

🌍 Once you learn about Attachment Theory, you’ll never see the world the same way again. For over 50 years, attachment science has been one of the most well-researched and validated frameworks in psychology. First developed by John Bowlby and expanded by Mary Ainsworth in the 1960s–70s, attachment theory has been tested across cultures, ages, and relationships. 📊 The evidence is undeniable: • Studies show that attachment styles are highly predictive of romantic behavior—everything from how we

Hear me out!! I know it may seem like I’ve done this one before, but I’m actually explaining why each type of avoidant attachment style pulls away. BECAUSE they pull away for VERY different reasons!! ‼️The dismissive avoidant and fearful avoidant are in fact VERY different, and in fact have VERY different behaviors and VERY different reasons for their behaviors. ‼️Not all coaches understand the complex differences in these two attachment styles, nor do they know the science behind them to thorou

It’s the easiest fix. Wounds oppose each other in activation opposition, but with the same underlying core need, the biggest challenge simply becomes conflict resolution. With the deep nervous system work and learning excellent resolution skills..the chance of creating a very happy relationship is very high. #love #relationships #attachmentstyle #relationshipcoach #attachment | Dr. Sarah Hensley

You love them, but they won’t repair conflict. It causes you anxiety and you don’t feel seen or understood. Things never change. You feel stuck. You may have a dismissive avoidant partner and both of you could benefit from learning to become secure in my hybrid program. I built it to bypass the wounding of the dismissive avoidant and create an environment where they can learn the skills to be secure in a space that doesn’t trigger them. #Love #relationships #avoidantattachment #relationshipcoach

The number 1 thing to do to reconnect with your ex... No contact. Reaching out right now usually pushes them farther away. Both of you need time and space to process the breakup. So you both can do the grieving, calm your system, and get clear on what actually happened. How your ex responds to no contact depends on their attachment style. Want to know what to expect and what to do next? My “How to Get Your Ex Back” course walks you through it step by step. Link in bio. | Dr. Sarah Hensley

The fastest way to shut a woman down sexually is criticism. The fastest way to shut a man down emotionally is criticism. That reaction is about the nervous system especially with insecure attachment. How criticism lands by style: • Anxious preoccupied: triggers “I’m not enough” and abandonment fear • Fearful avoidant: feels misunderstood (a core wound) → trauma responses • Dismissive avoidant: hits the defectiveness/shame wound → feels like judgment/attack • Secure: tolerates more because intima

😔Ugh…. This dynamic is so painful. My heart hurts for both the partners of Dismissive Avoidants and the dismissive Avoidants themselves. Most people that come to me for help are either married to a DA and are at their wits end, or a DA themselves and their partnering is saying, “get help or I’m gone.” Let me give both partners some hope. Change is possible!! I’ve seen it, time and time again. It’s why I love doing what I do. The testimonies from past clients speak deeply of the transformations

The number 1 reason she stops wanting sex? Emotional safety. When her nervous system doesn’t feel safe, desire shuts down. And what “safe” even means depends heavily on her attachment style. For some women, safety looks like emotional closeness and consistency. For others, it looks like space, autonomy, or non-critical communication. If her attachment system is activated, intimacy isn’t just hard — it feels threatening. Want help figuring out your partner’s style? DM me “Partner” and I’ll send y

The tragedy of the fearful avoidant is that they want intimacy as deeply as they fear it. Their nervous system is constantly asking: “Can I trust you with my heart, and still be safe?” And when that question finally gets answered with steady presence, emotional attunement, and repair... profound healing becomes possible.

The Fearful Avoidant paired with the Dismissive Avoidant. This dynamic is often one of the most painful relationship cycles, second only to overtly narcissistic or abusive partnerships, not because either partner is “bad,” but because their deepest wounds collide in the most triggering way possible. The Fearful Avoidant carries a betrayal wound. They learned early that love was unpredictable—here one moment, gone the next. So they crave closeness, reassurance, and emotional safety… while simulta
