In this episode of The Thais Gibson Podcast, Thais and Mike dive deep into the common expectations that dismissive avoidants bring into their relationships and how these can sabotage connections. They explore three major unhealthy expectations that dismissive avoidants often hold: wanting unconditional acceptance of flaws, avoiding criticism, and desiring excessive alone time without negotiation.

Through personal stories and insights, Thais and Mike share strategies on how to reframe these expectations and foster healthier compromises for secure, balanced relationships. This episode is packed with actionable advice for both dismissive avoidants and their partners on building deeper, more meaningful connections.
