In this episode of The Thais Gibson Podcast, we dive deep into the unique dynamics of dismissive avoidant and fearful avoidant attachment styles in relationships.

Join Thais and her co-host, Mike, as they explore why these attachment types often experience shorter relationships and uncover the specific reasons behind relationship patterns such as the “six-month breakup” or the challenges around the one-to-two-year mark.

They discuss how attachment wounds impact relationship stages, from initial dating to the honeymoon phase, and the power struggle that can make or break connections.

Listeners will gain insights into core attachment fears—like the fear of abandonment or the need for personal space—and how they shape communication patterns, including texting frequency, phone calls, and managing expectations in relationships.

With personal anecdotes and practical advice, Thais and her co-host provide a roadmap for both avoidants and those who love them to navigate the complexities of relationship dynamics.

This episode is perfect for anyone wanting to understand attachment styles more deeply or seeking healthier, more fulfilling connections.
