122: Are You Attached or Actually Connec...

The Sabrina Zohar Show
About this episode
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.
