In this episode of Can This Be Fixed?, co-hosts Thais Gibson and Mike dive deep into the complex world of avoidant attachment styles. They explore how dismissive avoidants often have unrealistic relationship expectations, such as needing their partner to be emotionally self-sufficient and not "needy," as well as avoiding deep emotional discussions. These expectations can lead to challenges in relationships, especially if they are unwilling to compromise or recognize the importance of emotional connection and open communication in building a healthy partnership. Tune in for an honest, heartfelt conversation that aims to shed light on the intricacies of attachment and connection.


Don't miss the opportunity to learn how these attachment styles can heal and transform to form more secure, fulfilling relationships. Plus, hear the hosts share their personal journeys from avoidance to secure attachment.
