Start Healing Your Attachment Style With Personalized Courses Taught by Thais Gibson. Free for 7 Days (Enough Time to Complete a Full Course). Limited-time Offer:

When a Fearful Avoidant and a Dismissive Avoidant enter conflict, the emotional fallout can feel explosive, confusing, and deeply painful. One partner feels overwhelmed and unheard, while the other shuts down and retreats — and neither realizes what’s actually happening beneath the surface.

In this mini masterclass, Thais Gibson breaks down the hidden dynamics driving Fearful Avoidant–Dismissive Avoidant conflicts, the subconscious wounds fueling these reactions, and why these cycles repeat until you learn to see them differently. You’ll finally understand what each partner is experiencing internally, and what has to shift to break the pattern for good.

You’ll learn:

✅ The core wounds that shape Fearful Avoidant and Dismissive Avoidant conflict

✅ Why Fearful Avoidants over-give, under-receive, and burn out emotionally

✅ How covert contracts lead to resentment and misinterpretation

✅ The Dismissive Avoidant perspective: why criticism triggers their deepest shame wounds

✅ What each partner actually feels but doesn’t say during conflict

✅ How miscommunication fuels the pursuit-and-withdrawal cycle
