Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mark Groves podcast. Today's episode I didn't expect to record because recently I was so caught off guard by the news that Dr. Sue Johnson has passed away.

I grew up in an English pub, which is probably the very best place that you could ever choose to learn about relationships.

And for me, it was just so fascinating to listen to this emotional music.

Attachment pins down the specific responses that shape a loving bond.

And I wanted to do a podcast episode, a special one, on her and her legacy, because she had such a

profound impact not only on me, but she has on therapists, on coaches, on anyone who is

interested in learning more about relationships, her books are

like seminal pieces of work. Her book Hold Me Tight and her book Love Sense. They both had such a

profound impact on me and really had me make sense of why I do what I do,

and that's not a pun on the title Love Sense.

But recently we had Dr. Sue Johnson on the podcast,

and we wanted to do an episode where we share some of the best clips from that episode

in honor of her life and in honor of her legacy.

I always think to myself when people of that level of significance in terms of the impact they

have on how people love when they pass, that it really is our duty to honor their legacy by really loving at our greatest capacity

and really living all out and honoring the knowledge that they have left behind through their

own pains, their own sufferings, their own challenges, and just their passions to want to

deeply understand the human condition, human connection. And really, we all know that at the end

of the day, that's what matters in our life. So it is with the deepest sadness that we say

goodbye in this earth experience to Dr.

Sue Johnson and really honor her legacy and the things that she's taught us. And without further

ado, here's some of the favorite clips from that episode, which was so recent.
