Episode notes
Early Parental Abandonment Shaped Core Beliefs
- Sabrina Zohar describes her father leaving and emotional abuse as her first major heartbreak that taught her she was 'too much'.
- This shaped her childhood core belief that she must dim her light to be accepted and taught her to self-protect in relationships.
Rewrite The Story You Were Told
- Sabrina realized there was never anything wrong with her despite childhood messages; adults lacked capacity, not the child.
- She reframed her narrative to support her younger self and reclaim worthiness.
Limerence Often Hides Childhood Needs
- Sabrina links limerence and obsessive crush behavior to unmet childhood needs and emotional neglect.
- Fantasizing became an escape from her present state rather than a reflection of healthy attachment.
