168: Why You Spiral When They Don’t Text Back
Update: 2025-10-24
Description
In this week’s episode, Sabrina breaks down what your texting patterns reveal about your attachment style and emotional triggers in dating and relationships. Through her own past text exchanges, she shares how anxious thoughts, people-pleasing, and over-explaining once shaped her dating behavior, and how she learned to regulate her emotions instead of spiraling when someone didn’t respond. Sabrina explores how rejection, ghosting, and unmet expectations often trace back to deeper wounds around self-worth and safety.
She also explains how healing doesn’t mean never feeling triggered; it means recognizing those triggers, staying grounded, and choosing not to self-abandon. If texting still sends you into a loop, this episode will help you understand why and how to finally break the cycle.
Your brain can’t tell the difference between social rejection and getting punched in the face. That’s why when it takes them 3 hours to text back your chest hurts. Why that triple text makes you feel shaky and sweaty and like you just wanna throw your phone in the ocean. Your body is having a trauma response to the possibility of saying the wrong thing. If you want to break the pattern and start taking positive steps towards a life where what happens on your phone doesn’t dictate your life…
