Attachment theory and relationship patterns are explored with Thais Gibson, founder of the Personal Development School. Gibson highlights the four attachment styles—secure, anxious, dismissive avoidant, and fearful avoidant—and how childhood experiences shape adult relationships. Challenging the idea of attachment styles as fixed labels, Gibson advocates for healing core wounds through subconscious rewiring, emphasizing that familiarity is often mistaken for safety in partner selection. She introduces a five-pillar framework for building secure relationships, beginning with rewiring core wounds, meeting unmet needs, and regulating the nervous system. Communication strategies and boundary setting are also addressed, with practical advice on transforming criticisms into needs. Gibson stresses the importance of self-regulation and self-compassion in fostering healthy relationships.
