132: Resentment, Expectations, and Unmet Needs: The Three Relationship Killers With Dr. Morgan Cutlip


Listen Later

In this episode of The Sabrina Zohar Show, psychologist and author Dr. Morgan Cutlip joins Sabrina to unpack the three silent relationship killers that derail connection: resentment, unmet needs, and unrealistic expectations. Whether you’re single, dating, or married with kids, this conversation dives into how these patterns sneak in, how to name them before they take over, and how to build emotional safety without losing your voice. From the belief that “they should just know” to the fear of being too much, Dr. Morgan and Sabrina explore how communication, vulnerability, and clear needs are the foundation of sustainable intimacy.

You’ll learn how to express your needs without guilt, how to approach hard conversations without triggering defensiveness, and how to avoid falling into the toxic “mothering” dynamic that kills attraction. The episode is filled with personal stories, relatable insights, and no-BS tools to help you stop walking on eggshells and start creating the kind of partnership you actually want. Whether you’re navigating a new relationship or reevaluating a long-term one, this episode offers the clarity and compassion you need to move forward.
