115: How to Detach: It's Time To Let Tha...

The Sabrina Zohar Show
About this episode
In this solo episode, Sabrina dives into the psychology and personal journey of detaching and letting go, emphasizing that the process is deeply individual and often challenging. She explores how anxiety and fear manifest across various aspects of life, such as relationships, money, and family, highlighting that our brains are wired to resist change due to comfort zone traps and familiar dopamine patterns. 

Sabrina shares her personal experiences, illustrating how projections and unmet needs often tether us to past relationships or circumstances. She underscores the importance of grieving unmet expectations, like the childhood or relationships we didn’t have, to signal safety to the brain and foster emotional healing. Letting go is a superpower that creates space for growth and new opportunities, even though the process can initially feel painful. Sabrina offers practical tools like journaling, challenging core beliefs, practicing bilateral stimulation, and creating physical rituals, like writing and burning goodbye letters, to help reframe and release attachments. 

She stresses the power of choosing freedom over fear and learning to observe situations without controlling outcomes. Detaching requires sitting in discomfort, embracing facts over fantasies, and cultivating self-soothing techniques. Ultimately, Sabrina encourages listeners to reclaim their energy, focus on personal growth, and let go of what no longer serves them to build emotional stability and empower their lives.
