Dismissive avoidants often keep their deepest thoughts and fears completely hidden, even from their closest partners. But in counseling, once trust is built, surprising truths emerge. In this episode, Thais Gibson pulls back the curtain on five confessions dismissive avoidants have shared in private sessions, insights that explain their distance, hesitation, and hidden needs.

From the belief they’re “not cut out” for relationships to the way conflict can rattle them for days, you’ll see the avoidant attachment style in a whole new light. More importantly, you’ll learn how to build trust, communicate effectively, and create a connection where their needs (and yours) can truly be met.

You’ll learn:

  • ✅ The hidden belief that they’re “better off alone”—and why it’s a learned defense, not the truth

  • ✅ Why emotional closeness can feel unsafe, even when they crave love

  • ✅ How childhood emotional neglect plants deep shame that’s triggered by even small feedback

  • ✅ Why conflict overwhelms them—and how they can learn healthy resolution skills

  • ✅ The surprising reason they often feel their needs aren’t met (even with a loving partner)

  • ✅ How to meet each other halfway through clear, safe communication

  • ✅ Access to a free course on the 5 key pillars of secure relationships
