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.
