Do you feel uncomfortable with vulnerability, tend to pull away in relationships, or avoid conflict at all costs?
You might be operating with a dismissive avoidant attachment style—and you're not alone. In this episode of The Thais Gibson Podcast, Thais shares the 10 most common signs of dismissive avoidant attachment and the powerful subconscious programming behind them. Whether you relate to these traits or recognize them in a partner, this episode offers clarity and a compassionate path forward.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ Why DAs avoid vulnerability and emotional intimacy
✔️ How they subconsciously escape from emotional discomfort
✔️ The impact of covert emotional neglect on identity and core wounds
✔️ Why dismissive avoidants fear conflict—and how it plays out in relationships
✔️ How shame, fear of criticism, and a belief of being “defective” shape their behavior
✔️ Why DAs tend to lose feelings suddenly—and how it's linked to fear, not fact
✔️ What it means when DAs say, “I’m just not capable of being in a relationship”
✔️ Simple reprogramming steps to become securely attached
If you’ve ever said “I don’t do emotions,” or dated someone who shuts down the moment things get real, this episode is your blueprint to understanding and transforming dismissive avoidant attachment from the inside out.
