The Science of Attachment | Thais Gibson

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show

Breaking the Cycle

In this episode of the Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, I sit down with the incredible Thais Gibson, an expert in attachment theory and personal development. Together, we dive deep into the fascinating world of attachment styles and explore how early childhood experiences shape our emotional patterns, relationships, and even our overall health.

We cover:

  • The four main attachment styles: secure, anxious, dismissive avoidant, and fearful avoidant (disorganized)
  • How attachment styles influence adult romantic and social relationships
  • The role of childhood experiences and caregivers in shaping these attachment patterns
  • Practical steps to identify and rewire insecure attachment styles for healthier relationships

Whether you're looking to better understand your relationship dynamics or improve your mental and emotional health, this episode is packed with actionable insights and tools to help you build more secure, fulfilling connections.
