126: How to Stop Obsessing Over Someone Who’s Not That Into You Feb 28, 2025

Show notes

Why do we obsess over people who give us nothing? Why does unavailability make someone more attractive? And how do you break free from this cycle for good?
In this solo episode, Sabrina Zohar dives deep into limerence—the psychological trap that keeps you fixated on the wrong people. But this isn't just about dopamine and attachment theory; this episode goes further, exploring:

The real reason you can’t stop thinking about them (hint: it’s not because they’re special).
How childhood patterns train your brain to mistake anxiety for attraction.
Why fantasy and longing feel safer than real emotional intimacy.
IFS (Internal Family Systems) techniques to uncover and heal the wounded parts of you that keep chasing the unavailable.
How to disrupt the obsession cycle with practical, body-based tools.
The question that will break the spell: What am I afraid will happen if I let them go?

If you’re stuck in your head, constantly replaying what-if scenarios, or convincing yourself they must be the one—this episode is for you. It’s time to step out of the fantasy and reclaim your power.

125: Anxious vs. Avoidant: Breaking the Unhealthy Push-Pull Dynamic in Love With Jimmy Knowles Feb 21, 2025

Show notes

If you’ve ever felt like you’re too much in a relationship while your partner seems emotionally unavailable, you’re not alone. The anxious-avoidant dynamic is one of the most common (and frustrating) relationship patterns—but is it doomed, or can it actually work?
In this episode, Jimmy Knowles(@jimmy_on_relationships) joins Sabrina Zohar to break down the push-pull dynamic between anxious and avoidant partners. Both Jimmy and Sabrina lean anxious, while their partners are avoidant—so they get the struggles firsthand.
🔹 Why do avoidants pull away, and what are they really thinking?
🔹 How does anxious attachment lead to self-sabotage?
🔹 Can anxious-avoidant relationships actually thrive?
🔹 The key to breaking toxic cycles and building real trust
They unpack how early childhood experiences shape attachment, why anxious partners tend to people-please into resentment, and how avoidants often withdraw not out of rejection—but out of self-protection. Plus, they reveal the mindset shifts needed to stop chasing, start connecting, and build a relationship where both people feel safe.
If you’ve ever felt trapped in an emotional rollercoaster, this episode is for you. 🎢
👉 Hit play now and learn how to stop the cycle for good!

122: Are You Attached or Actually Connected? How To Avoid the Dating Trap You Don’t See Coming Feb 07, 2025

Show notes

Ever found yourself obsessing over someone who’s hot and cold, questioning every text, and feeling anxious when they pull away? That’s not connection—it’s attachment. In this episode Sabrina breaks down the key differences between attachment and genuine connection in dating.
You’ll learn why attachment is rooted in fear and the need for validation, while real connection thrives on authenticity and emotional safety. Discover how inconsistent communication triggers dopamine-driven obsession, and why the people who leave you spiraling aren’t the ones you’re truly connected to.
Sabrina shares actionable strategies to shift from anxious attachment to grounded self-trust. Instead of overanalyzing or chasing closure, you’ll learn how to self-soothe, focus on your own needs, and build connections based on consistency—not intensity.
Press play to reclaim your peace, recognize the red flags of attachment, and start dating from a place of self-worth. This episode is your guide to breaking free from the cycle of obsession and finding real, lasting connection.
