169: Why Do You Feel Like You're Always Struggling?


Listen Later

In this vulnerable and science-backed episode, Sabrina Zohar reveals a universal truth: everyone is struggling, and the people who seem to have it all figured out are just better at hiding it. She dismantles toxic positivity, explaining why fighting your emotions makes things worse and how acceptance can reduce their intensity by 50%. 

Sabrina provides practical tools like the "Paradox Prescription" for obsessive thoughts and the "72-Hour Reality Check" to identify trauma bonding. If you've ever felt alone in your pain, this is your powerful reminder that you are not broken—you are human. The cure isn't to stop struggling, but to stop hiding it.

Your brain can’t tell the difference between rejection and getting punched in the face.
That’s why when it takes them three hours to text back, your chest tightens.

Why your palms get sweaty after you triple-text and instantly regret it.
Why you tell yourself “I’m fine” but your body’s already spiraling.

You’re not dramatic.
You’re dysregulated.
Your nervous system is reacting to the possibility of loss the same way it would to actual danger.

If you’re ready to stop letting what happens on your phone decide how your day feels, join me on November 6th for a live masterclass: Texting Anxiety: How to Calm Your Body Before You Hit Send.

We’ll unpack what’s really happening in your brain and body when you text someone you like, and I’ll teach you tools to get grounded fast, even in the middle of a spiral.

You don’t need to care less.
You just need new tools for what your body’s been trying to protect you from
