  • Summary

  • In this solo episode, Sabrina emphasizes the importance of communicating needs and navigating conflict in relationships. She wants individuals to trust themselves and be honest, even when difficult conversations feel uncomfortable. A challenge many face is overcoming core belief and facing fear of abandonment or rejection, which often leads people to avoid addressing their concerns. Sabrina explains that using your voice is crucial because your partner should want to hear your opinions and understand your needs. Effective communication involves setting boundaries, using “I” statements, and addressing behaviors rather than criticizing character to foster healthier dialogue. She highlights the toxic effects of contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling, which can undermine trust and connection, and encourages couples to actively listen, stay curious, and be consistent in communication. Sabrina advises addressing issues in person rather than over text, being specific and direct about your needs, and choosing the right time for discussions to avoid escalating conflict. She also notes the importance of repairing conflict rather than just avoiding it, as healthy relationships are built on the ability to repair and grow through challenges, not simply on the absence of conflict. Ultimately, Sabrina believes that navigating conflict with openness and honesty strengthens the bond between partners.
