Have you ever felt blindsided when a Dismissive Avoidant walked away from a fight, or even ended a relationship, seemingly without a second thought? In this video, Thais Gibson reveals the three hidden psychological and emotional reasons why Dismissive Avoidants can leave so abruptly, and what you can do to stop personalizing their behavior.

You’ll learn how counter-dependency, lack of co-regulation, and shutdown coping mechanisms all play a role in this pattern. Most importantly, Thais guides you through reflective exercises to help you focus on what you can control, so you can reclaim your self-worth and move forward with clarity.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why Dismissive Avoidants lean toward counter-dependency and avoid relying on others
✅ How the inability to co-regulate makes deeper bonds harder to form
✅ Why repressing and compartmentalizing emotions makes walking away their main coping strategy
✅ The hidden costs avoidants pay for shutting down, even if it looks easy from the outside
✅ How to reflect on your own patterns of codependency, self-sourcing, and emotional processing
✅ Why interdependence, not codependency or hyper-independence, is the key to secure love
