Summary

Welcome to part 2 of this series, in this episode, Sabrina dives into the 1-3 month stage of dating, where deeper emotions and unexpected triggers often emerge. She emphasizes the importance of self-trust and self-regulation, explaining that dating anxiety is natural but should be managed with tools like grounding exercises and clear communication.

Sabrina advises acknowledging your triggers without projecting them onto your partner, instead taking the opportunity to explore them personally. Practicing boundaries and fostering self-regulation are key—rather than seeking constant validation, work on inner resilience. Sabrina stresses that anxious daters need to reframe their responses to uncertainties, understanding that not every unmet expectation is a crisis.

At two to three months, it's appropriate to discuss exclusivity and shared values, as consistency and emotional availability become essential. Sabrina encourages being honest about needs and expectations while allowing space for the relationship to develop naturally.
