Managing Your Attachment Style – an Interview with Thais Gibson of the Personal Development School
I haven’t interviewed anyone on my podcast since 2017 but when I got the opportunity to speak with Thais Gibson, creator of the Personal Development School, I leapt at the chance. She’s fiercely intelligent and listening to her go deeper on attachment styles and limerence was a treat.
Thais Gibson is a counselor, best selling author and co-founder of The Personal Development School. She has a Ph.D. and over 13 certifications in modalities ranging from CBT, NLP, somatic experiencing, internal family systems, to shadow work and hypnosis. Thais had nearly a decade of experience running a successful private practice and founded The Personal Development School, an online learning platform, to provide a more accessible, authentic way for clients to transform their lives. Thais is on a mission to empower individuals to overcome their insecure attachment styles and reprogram any limiting thoughts and behaviors, creating long-lasting and enlightening changes. She is the bestselling author of Learning Love, and she and her husband split their time between Austin, TX and Toronto, Canada.
Together, we discuss:
1. How anxious people can tell if it’s his behavior or their anxiety that’s triggering them.
2. The value of dating a secure person and how that feels different than anxious/avoidant pairings
3. Why attachment styles are malleable and change depending upon your circumstance and your partner.
4. The definition of limerence. Why does it take place? What are the symptoms?
5. Coping strategies to manage limerent feelings.
6. Whether you should walk away from a 10 chemistry or go towards it.
