Summary

In the 4th episode of the Self Esteem Series, Sabrina Zohar dives deep into the emotional patterns that sabotage relationships, specifically protest behavior. She explains how certain behaviors like excessive texting, withdrawal, and people-pleasing are often unconscious responses to fear of abandonment or disconnection. Sabrina shares raw personal stories and offers insights on how to break these patterns, set healthy boundaries, and foster genuine connection. If you've ever found yourself trapped in a cycle of emotional escalation, over-explaining, or testing your partner's commitment, this episode is for you. Tune in to understand why these behaviors emerge and how you can move toward healthier, more secure relationships.

every time I say it, you're like, wait, what is that?

0:17.7

We're talking about protest behavior and triggers.

0:19.9

We're going to talk kind of both. We have tons of episodes on triggers if you want to go deeper. But we don't really talk about protest behavior in all the attachment styles. This isn't just one. So wherever you are on the spectrum, I got you. I'm so excited. Guys, as always, if you need anything, everything is at Sabrinazohar.com.

0:54.7

All right, babies. Without further ado, let's get right on into it, shall we?

0:58.2

Hi, friends. Oh, I'm so excited to be back with you guys. All right, life update. Not a ton

happening besides the fact that I told you guys that I got my scan back and I'm clear. I'm so

1:09.5

grateful. I'm so excited. But you guys, the book has been

1:13.5

turned in. That's it. Like we're on like the last step. This is it. So by next year, oh my God,

1:20.5

I'm going to be an author. I am so over the moon and so grateful. And sometimes I have to pinch myself to

1:26.0

remember where we started. And actually this morning, I got to do that. And I got to go down a little trip down memory lane with Clemmy. And I was looking at a photo.

And I remember standing there being so confused because they told me a month prior that his kidneys look perfect. And I understand now, like if you want to look at it, why it had to happen, right? Like, I don't, I don't ever think I needed to lose Clem. But I understand the journey that I've been on. I understand how all of this culminated and how I had to lose my best friend. And I wish every single day, that's not how it had to happen. I wish every single day that me and Mr. Bone were able to be together still and that you guys would have met him

2:18.6

and that you guys would have known him, but that's unfortunately not my reality. And I could have

2:24.8

done a lot of things to fight that internally, but instead I had to accept it. And so I understand
