The Dr. Josh Axe Show

How to Stop People-Pleasing, Set Boundaries, and Heal Emotionally


Listen Later

Did you know that your attachment style could be shaping your health, relationships, and overall well-being in ways you don’t even realize? Research shows that early life experiences deeply influence how we connect with others and even how we respond to stress—impacting our mental, emotional, and even physical health.


In this powerful episode of The Dr. Josh Axe Show, Dr. Axe sits down with Thais Gibson, PhD, founder of The Personal Development School, who specializes in attachment theory and subconscious reprogramming. With over 13 certifications in counseling, Thais helps people break free from emotional barriers, rewire their subconscious mind, and build deeper, more fulfilling relationships.


What you’ll learn in this episode:


  • The 4 attachment styles and how they impact your relationships, self-esteem, and stress levels
  • Why codependency and people-pleasing may be signs of unresolved trauma—and how to heal from them
  • The link between emotional health and physical illness (and how trauma can manifest in disease)
  • How to rewire your subconscious mind to break negative thought loops and limiting beliefs
  • The science behind neuroplasticity and how to recondition your brain for emotional freedom
  • Why loneliness is as harmful as smoking and how true connection can add years to your life

  • If you've ever felt trapped in unhealthy relationship patterns, struggled with self-worth, or wondered why certain emotional wounds keep resurfacing—this episode is for you. Dr. Axe and Thais provide real, actionable steps to help you heal from the inside out, so you can thrive in body, mind, and spirit.


    Tune in now to start your journey toward emotional healing, healthier relationships, and a more fulfilling life.
