Episode notes

Thais Gibson is the co-founder of The Personal Development School, a best-selling author, host of The Thais Gibson Podcast, Ph.D. recipient, and a recognized leader in the personal development field.

After earning her Ph.D. and completing over 13 certifications in disciplines such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Hypnosis, Somatic Experiencing, and more, Thais spent nearly a decade running a high-demand client-based practice. Her ever-growing waitlist revealed a clear need: people from all walks of life needed more accessible and affordable tools to heal emotional wounds and overcome long- standing challenges.

This realization led to the creation of The Personal Development School ("PDS"). Since launching PDS, and with the backing of years of clinical experience and research, Thais has become a leading voice in the space of attachment trauma healing. The school has grown into a thriving global community with over 55,000 members in 145+ countries.
