Do avoidants really fall in love—or are they just emotionally unavailable?
In this eye-opening episode of The Thais Gibson Podcast, Thais answers one of the most frequently asked questions in attachment theory: Can dismissive and fearful avoidants truly experience love? The answer might surprise you.
Through personal stories and client insights, Thais explains how the depth of love an avoidant can feel is directly tied to their ability to be emotionally vulnerable. Learn why some avoidants may only feel infatuation or superficial connection until they’ve done the deeper work—and how healing their attachment style can unlock the potential for lasting, unconditional love.
✔️ Why vulnerability is the gateway to deeper love
✔️ The difference between infatuation and emotional intimacy
✔️ How love evolves across the 6 relationship stages
✔️ What holds avoidants back from deep emotional connection
✔️ How to support your partner (or yourself) in building secure attachment
✔️ Why doing the work changes how love is experienced and expressed
Whether you’re dating an avoidant, recovering from a relationship, or healing your own patterns, this episode is your compassionate guide to love through the lens of secure connection.
