What was childhood really like for a fearful avoidant?

Fearful avoidant attachment, also known as disorganized attachment, is deeply shaped by unpredictability, chaos, and a lack of emotional safety in early life. In this episode of The Thais Gibson Podcast, we dive into the formative childhood experiences that create fearful avoidant attachment and explore why trust, stability, and emotional regulation feel so difficult in relationships.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✔️ The 3 major childhood factors that shape a fearful avoidant attachment style

✔️ Why hypervigilance and emotional unpredictability become survival strategies

✔️ How childhood instability, neglect, or parentification impact adult relationships

✔️ The connection between trust issues, fear of abandonment, and emotional dysregulation

✔️ A powerful reparenting exercise to start healing and shifting toward secure attachment

If you’ve ever wondered “Why do I struggle to trust people?” or “Why do I push people away when I want connection?”, this episode will help you understand your past and take the first steps toward healing.
