110: 3-6 Months In: Navigating the Make-or-Break Stage of Dating

The Sabrina Zohar Show

Today Sabrina is talking about the 3-6 month mark in dating. This is an important time, and often the transition out of the honeymoon phase. This period reveals reality as dopamine-induced excitement fades, making it crucial to evaluate compatibility and address emerging dynamics.
Sabrina encourages slowing down to regulate your nervous system and build trust gradually. This is the time to assess how your partner responds to your needs, communicate triggers, and explore values versus surface-level traits. Power struggles, doubts, and fears are normal as you recognize both strengths and flaws in each other.
Sabrina highlights the importance of healthy confrontation, using curiosity instead of defensiveness, and understanding red flags like disrespect or avoidance. She advises setting boundaries, meeting families, and imagining a future together if the relationship feels aligned.
Above all, Sabrina urges self-compassion, self-awareness, and a commitment to authenticity, reminding you that a healthy relationship starts with you and your willingness to engage with intention and courage.
