When a partner starts focusing on flaws and pulling away, it can feel confusing and hurtful.

In this episode, Thais Gibson explores how a securely attached person would handle an avoidant partner’s flaw-finding behavior.

Learn the key steps—like not personalizing criticism, addressing the pattern directly, and maintaining healthy boundaries—that foster open communication and prevent misunderstandings.

Thais also shares strategies to build secure attachment and resilience in relationships.
