In this episode, Jeff sits down with Sabrina Zohar, relationship coach, host of The Sabrina Zohar Show, and author of the new book Why Am I Like This?, to trace how childhood wiring shows up in who we date, how we fight, and why healthy love can feel boring at first.
How anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles form, and why they're more fluid than social media suggests
Repetition compulsion and why you keep dating the same type of person
Why chemistry doesn't mean compatibility, and why money, kids, and shared life goals matter more
A word-for-word script for talking to your partner about a trigger
Why green flags can feel uncomfortable, and how corrective experiences change what feels safe
