• 138: Why You’re Obsessed with People Who Hurt You (And How to Finally Stop) With Nicole Vignola

  Are you tired of replaying the same scenarios in your head, checking their socials, and wondering why you can’t let go—even when you know they’re wrong for you? In this episode of The Sabrina Zohar Show, neuroscientist and author Nicole Vignola breaks down exactly what’s happening in your brain when you’re stuck on someone who isn’t right for you. From the dopamine loops that keep you addicted to the anticipation of a text to the childhood patterns shaping your attachment style, we dig into the neuroscience of obsession and how to actually break the cycle. You’ll learn why your brain seeks intermittent rewards, how to interrupt obsessive loops, what the default mode network has to do with emotional spirals, and the role of self-compassion in rewiring your brain. Nicole also shares tools like cognitive reframing, dopamine redirection, and the physiological sigh to help regulate your nervous system and regain control. If you're stuck in a spiral post-breakup or can’t stop thinking about someone who isn’t showing up for you, this episode is your science-backed roadmap to let go for good.

• 135: 4 Brutal Truths About Dating & Relationships (That No One Wants to Admit)

  Think you're ready for a healthy relationship? Think again. In this raw solo episode, Sabrina breaks down the four uncomfortable but necessary truths about dating and relationships that most people avoid. From why you might not actually be ready for the love you say you want, to how your nervous system may be confusing chaos with chemistry, this episode is a call-out and a wake-up. With research-backed insights (yes, we’re talking the salience network and the Dunning-Kruger effect), you'll learn why timing, emotional maturity, and attraction blindness play a bigger role than you think—and why doing “everything right” still won’t guarantee you don’t get hurt. Whether you're stuck in situationships, questioning your dating patterns, or struggling to let go of potential, this one’s for you. Sabrina gives you the science, the tools, and the truth—with zero sugarcoating. Get ready to rewrite the narrative, rewire your brain, and reclaim your standards. MERCH IS NOW AVAILABLE!

  He says “you deserve better,” but you're still hoping he’ll change? In today’s episode, we’re calling out the real reason you can’t let go — even when the relationship isn’t progressing.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “kind of” dating someone who gives you just enough to stay — this episode is your wake-up call. Sabrina and Tech Guy break down listener-submitted stories and drop straight-talk advice on self-abandonment, repetition compulsion, avoidant partners, and why “not wanting a relationship” actually means something. You’ll learn how to stop romanticizing crumbs, stop blaming yourself, and start walking away with your dignity intact. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s exactly what anxious daters need to hear.
