Have you ever wondered what happens when you finally pull away from a dismissive avoidant partner? Instead of you chasing, the roles reverse—and it can change everything. In this episode, Thais Gibson explains the psychological and emotional impact your distance has on a dismissive avoidant, why it triggers them differently than when you over-give, and how this dynamic can either spark growth or reinforce disconnection .

You’ll learn how avoidants process separation beneath the surface, why your boundaries often awaken feelings they’ve been avoiding, and how to use space intentionally without falling into power struggles.

You’ll learn:

  • ✅ What pulling away signals to a dismissive avoidant at the subconscious level

  • ✅ Why avoidants may begin to recognize your worth only once you stop over-pursuing

  • ✅ How your emotional independence can reduce their fear of engulfment

  • ✅ The difference between pulling away with resentment vs. pulling away with healthy self-respect

  • ✅ Practical ways to hold your ground while leaving the door open for healthier reconnection

  • ✅ Why creating balance between closeness and autonomy is key to secure love
