About this episode

Thais Gibson explores how Dismissive Avoidants react to relationship dynamics and offers healthier alternatives for connection.

In this episode, Thais Gibson breaks down what neuroscience reveals about how Dismissive Avoidants respond to pressure, pursuit, and distance — and why simply “matching their energy” almost always backfires long-term. You’ll learn the healthy alternative: setting clear standards, boundaries, and needs so you can show up authentically rather than shrinking, chasing, or manipulating to keep the connection alive.
