The Dr. Sarah Hensley Show

Dr. Sarah Hensley

The Dr. Sarah Hensley Show explores the science of human behavior, relationships, and the emotional patterns shaping our lives that most of us don't even realize exist. Because once you see the pattern, you can finally change it.

Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, social psychologist and leading expert in attachment science, alongside co-host Raina Butcher, each episode translates complex psychological research into practical, everyday insights. Together, they explore the hidden forces that influence how we love, communicate, parent, lead, navigate conflict, regulate emotions, build resilience, and create lasting change.

Whether you're trying to understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, heal from a breakup, become a more effective partner, parent or leader, or simply make sense of the people around you, you'll gain evidence-based tools and practical strategies grounded in psychology, attachment science, and human behavior
