Episode notes
Dating For Validation Versus Partnership
- Dating for validation looks like collecting proof you're worthy rather than evaluating compatibility.
- Sabrina contrasts partnership (mutual growth, choosing each other) with validation (seeking proof that fills an internal wound temporarily).
Sabrina's Early Relationship As Proof
- Sabrina recounts earlier relationships where being in a relationship felt like proof of worth rather than true connection.
- She realized she wanted to both be chosen and choose someone, not just use a relationship to patch self-worth wounds.
Ask Who You're Actually Thinking About
- Check where your mental energy goes: do you think about who they are or whether they want you?
- If most thoughts are about 'do they like me' you're seeking validation; refocus on compatibility and whether you choose them.
