Your brain defaults to fear 12x faster than logic, disrupting connection unless actively addressed. In this milestone 400th episode, relationship coach Sabrina Zohar reveals why you unconsciously recreate childhood dynamics in dating, often attracting the same emotional unavailability, love bombing, and ghosting patterns. We explore how unmet childhood needs create protective behaviors that mistake pain for love, leading to repetition compulsion where you date narcissists trying to heal narcissistic parent wounds. You don't need complete healing to find love but emotional regulation is essential. Sabrina shares practical techniques: self parenting your inner child, pausing to feel body signals, and building relationships with anxiety rather than eliminating it. Real growth comes from repair over perfection. Stop asking "Why don't they want me?" and start asking "What am I making this mean about me?" Hosted by Doctor Christian Gonzalez N.D.
