If you’ve ever felt like your heart is at war with your mind—wanting closeness one moment, then needing distance the next—you might be living with a fearful avoidant attachment style. And that internal push-pull doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’re human—and there’s hope.

In this insightful solo episode, Thais Gibson takes you into the emotional landscape of the fearful avoidant. You’ll learn how early attachment wounds shape chaotic internal worlds—and how to begin healing from the inside out. Whether you’re identifying as FA yourself or trying to understand a loved one, this episode brings clarity, compassion, and real tools for change.

You’ll learn:

  • ✅ Why fearful avoidants often feel emotionally “split” and reactive

  • ✅ The two subconscious core wounds that drive their behavior

  • ✅ How FAs unconsciously sabotage their relationships—and how to stop

  • ✅ Why needs go unmet in FA upbringings (and how to reclaim them)

  • ✅ The role of shame and “self-abandonment” in the FA emotional cycle

  • ✅ Practical steps to build internal safety and restore self-trust

  • ✅ How to break the push-pull pattern and move toward secure love
