If you’re dating a Dismissive Avoidant, you might constantly wonder:
Is this workable; or am I setting myself up for heartbreak?
Episode Summary
In this episode, Thais Gibson breaks down exactly what to look for; the green flags, the red flags, and the difference between someone who wants to change versus someone who is actually doing the work.
Not all Avoidants are the same. And Insecure Attachment alone isn’t a reason to leave a relationship.
The real question is this:
Is the person willing to do the work and does it show up in their behavior?
You’ll learn how to tell the difference between:
• Someone expressing future intentions
• Someone actively practicing growth
You’ll also discover the specific behavioral indicators that signal progress; like vulnerability, accountability, communication, and compromise versus signs you may be dating someone’s potential instead of their present reality.
Because healthy relationships aren’t built on promises.
They’re built on patterns.
