Why Anxious & Avoidants Attract (and How to Fix it) with Thais Gibson

I sit down with Thais Gibson to break down what attachment really is and how it shapes our relationships.

Thais shares a practical framework for rewiring core wounds and building secure attachment. If you’ve ever felt trapped in push-pull dynamics or struggled to communicate your needs, this conversation will give you clarity and direction.
