Breaking Toxic Relationship Patterns | Sabrina Zohar

Have you ever looked in the mirror and asked, "Why am I like this?" Why does the same relationship, the same breakup, or the same painful pattern keep showing up in your life? In this episode, Michael Anthony sits down with relationship coach, podcast host, and author Sabrina Zohar to talk about her new book, Why Am I Like This? Break Your Relationship Patterns and Create the Life That You Want.

Sabrina shares her own story with raw honesty. She grew up with a narcissistic father and a mother who emotionally shut down. She describes herself as "the poster child" of anxious attachment. Her lowest point came in an abusive relationship that left her suicidal and down to 90 pounds. She explains the moment she finally chose herself, and how losing almost everything let her rebuild her life, her business, and her relationships.

Michael and Sabrina break down why self-awareness alone won't change your life, and why "people love information, they hate doing" the work. It's a deep, unfiltered conversation about childhood trauma, core beliefs, and what it takes to stop repeating the past.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How your first 18 months shape your attachment style (anxious, avoidant, secure, or disorganized)
• Why your brain and nervous system choose what feels familiar over what helps you grow
• Two powerful questions to ask when you're triggered: "How old do I feel?" and "Where did I learn this from?"
• Why you get hooked on people who don't make you feel safe (intermittent reinforcement and the "slot machine" effect)
• Why the "Amazon mindset" is hurting modern dating, and why you should "burn the checklist"
• Why knowing how you want to feel with someone matters more than a list of traits
• How to set boundaries, handle rejection, and be okay losing people as you heal
• Why a trigger doesn't mean your partner is wrong for you, and what healthy communication really looks like
• What it truly means to be unbroken
