When a Dismissive Avoidant comes back after a breakup, it can be confusing. They might seem calm or detached while secretly wrestling with resurfacing emotions. But before you jump back in, it’s essential to understand what’s really happening beneath the surface.


In this video, Thais Gibson explains what happens when you propose a fresh start after a breakup with a Dismissive Avoidant. You’ll learn about the “Breakup Boomerang” effect, why their emotions often return weeks later, and how to know whether it’s safe to try again.


You’ll learn:

✅ What the “Breakup Boomerang” means and why emotions resurface later

✅ How Dismissive Avoidants process loss and regret after distance

✅ The signs they’re ready (or not ready) for true emotional reconnection

✅ How to assess if both partners are willing to do the real work

✅ What conversations must happen before giving it another chance

✅ How to find closure and self-healing if it’s time to move on
