You may want love, connection, and intimacy… yet still feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or suddenly disconnected when relationships get close.

If this resonates, you may have a Dismissive Avoidant Attachment Style, and it’s not because something is “wrong” with you. These patterns are learned subconscious strategies designed to keep you safe.

In this video, Thais Gibson walks you through 10 powerful signs of Dismissive Avoidant attachment, helping you understand where these patterns come from and how they impact your relationships, so you can begin creating deeper, healthier connections without losing yourself.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why different attachment styles operate with different subconscious “rules for love”
How emotional neglect shapes dismissive avoidant behaviors
Why vulnerability, conflict, and criticism can feel so threatening
What causes sudden emotional shutdowns or loss of feelings
