In this insightful episode, we dive into the addictive cycle of attachment to avoidant partners.

If you've ever found yourself caught in the emotional highs and lows of a relationship, where one day you’re close and the next they’re distant, this episode is for you.

Host Thais Gibson, a coach and counselor with over a decade of experience in attachment theory, unpacks the psychological mechanisms that keep people hooked on avoidant partners.

By exploring groundbreaking studies, Thais reveals how intermittent reinforcement affects our brains similarly to gambling or substance addiction, creating an emotional dependency.

Listen in to understand why these dynamics feel so hard to break, and learn practical steps to regain control of your emotions and move toward secure, fulfilling relationships.

Stick around for tools on reprogramming core wounds and identifying your own unmet needs, empowering you to break free from self-abandonment and avoid the breadcrumb relationships.

Tune in, take back your life, and discover how to move towards authentic connection.
