If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in an on-again, off-again relationship, you might have a Fearful Avoidant attachment style. The cycle of closeness and withdrawal can feel impossible to stop, even when you know it’s hurting you.

In this video, Thais Gibson breaks down why Fearful Avoidants repeat the on-and-off relationship pattern, what’s happening beneath the surface, and how to finally end the exhausting cycle for good. Discover how subconscious fears of abandonment and engulfment drive your behaviour, and the steps you can take to build consistency, trust, and emotional safety in love.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why Fearful Avoidants swing between connection and withdrawal
✅ How childhood enmeshment and rejection shape the push-pull dynamic
✅ The hidden fears that cause you to test love or push it away
✅ How disconnection from self fuels emotional burnout in relationships
✅ The key tools to regulate your nervous system, communicate needs, and build secure attachment
