Is there a hidden link between dismissive avoidant attachment and chronic depression?




In this deeply insightful episode of The Thais Gibson Podcast, Thais explores the strong correlation between dismissive avoidant attachment styles and low-level, often chronic depression. Learn why emotional repression, unmet needs, and painful belief systems contribute to emotional numbness—and how true healing is possible.


 


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:




✔️ Why chronic emotional repression can lead to emotional "toxicity" over time

✔️ How dismissive avoidants unconsciously disconnect from core emotional needs

✔️ The role of unmet needs and negative belief imprints in depression

✔️ Why love and connection are biologically essential for emotional well-being

✔️ How painful childhood associations with vulnerability cause long-term inner conflict

✔️ The importance of reprogramming beliefs about vulnerability, love, and connection

✔️ How gradual exposure and conscious reprogramming can create profound healing


 


Thais also shares practical, science-backed strategies to break the cycle of emotional disconnection, reconnect with your own feelings, and heal depressive patterns at the root.
