If you’ve ever waited hours, or even days, for a dismissive avoidant to text back, you might assume they don’t care. But the truth is far more complex. In this episode, Thais Gibson reveals the real psychological reasons behind their slow replies and how to navigate this without losing your self-worth.
You’ll discover how limited emotional bandwidth, self-imposed pressure, and avoidance cycles influence communication patterns. Plus, Thais shares practical strategies to set healthy texting standards and touch-base rituals that work for both partners.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why dismissive avoidants often operate with “shrunken emotional bandwidth”
✅ How they subconsciously associate texting with pressure and stress
✅ Why their coping strategy is to shut down rather than engage
✅ How to set consistent communication standards early in dating
✅ Specific touch-base habits that build connection without overwhelm
✅ The negotiation method secure people use to find middle ground
✅ How to protect your needs while respecting their boundaries
