Are you dating someone who pulls you in and then suddenly pushes you away?

Fearful avoidant attachment, also known as anxious-avoidant, is one of the most complex and emotionally turbulent attachment styles. In this episode of The Thais Gibson Podcast, we uncover what it’s like to date someone with a fearful avoidant attachment style, why they struggle with both intimacy and independence, and how to create a healthier relationship dynamic.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✔️ Why fearful avoidants crave closeness but fear vulnerability

✔️ The role of trauma and emotional chaos in shaping their attachment style

✔️ Common triggers that cause them to shut down or push people away

✔️ How to communicate effectively without triggering their fears

✔️ Key strategies to build trust and emotional security in your relationship

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why does my partner want closeness one moment and distance the next?”, this episode will give you deep insights into their behavior and practical tools to navigate these challenges.
