Are you in a relationship with a fearful avoidant partner?

If your partner seems to pull you in one moment and push you away the next, you might be struggling to understand their behavior. Fearful avoidant attachment—sometimes called anxious-avoidant attachment—is one of the most misunderstood attachment styles.

In this episode of The Thais Gibson Podcast, we explore what your fearful avoidant partner wishes you knew, how they experience relationships, and what you can do to create healthy, secure connection.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✔️ Why fearful avoidants are hypervigilant in relationships

✔️ Why they crave love but fear deep intimacy

✔️ How past trauma shapes their trust issues and push-pull behavior

✔️ What fearful avoidants truly need in a relationship

✔️ How to communicate effectively and avoid emotional triggers

If you’ve ever felt confused, hurt, or unsure about your fearful avoidant partner’s actions, this episode is a must-listen!
