Fearful Avoidants don’t walk away because they’re indifferent — they walk away because fear overwhelms them. Understanding why they leave suddenly can help you respond with clarity, protect your emotional well-being, and navigate the aftermath of a breakup.

In this video, Thais Gibson explains why Fearful Avoidants may regret leaving relationships and how their subconscious mind drives their intense shifts between anxiety and avoidance. You'll gain insight into their behavior and learn how to respond in a healthy, empowered way.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why Fearful Avoidants rapidly shift between anxious and avoidant states, and what triggers these swings
✅ How the subconscious mind stores emotional “warehouses” of past trauma that influence present relationship behaviors
✅ Why breakups often happen as a protective strategy, not a reflection of true feelings
✅ How unmet needs and poor communication can push Fearful Avoidants to pull away
✅ How recognizing triggers and past imprints can help you avoid taking their behavior personally
✅ Practical strategies for communicating your needs and setting boundaries in challenging relationships
✅ How insight and self-work can transform relationships and prevent repeating painful cycles
