Addressing core concepts like attachment styles and traits, Gibson emphasizes the role of the subconscious and offers practical steps to identify and move towards a secure attachment style.
Gibson's Personal Journey and Healing Process
Growing up in a chaotic environment, Tyee Gibson adopted a fearful-avoidant attachment style marked by competing needs for love and fear of vulnerability. Struggling with opioid addiction led her to deep self-reflection and healing, specifically realizing the impact of childhood experiences on her attachment style. This realization sparked her interest in personal growth and subconscious reprogramming.

These ongoing efforts contribute to evolving and maintaining a secure partnership over time.
