The Thais Gibson Podcast

I just listened to your monkey branching episode & realized that my 44 yr old husband of 12 years monkey branched. He started an emotional affair with a 25 yr old coworker that he knew for 3 months, and said he had so much in common with. A week & a half after she told him that she had a crush on him, he came & told me about it. We tried to work on our marriage, & made it one month, before I realized that he was actually just convincing himself that we’d be happier single or with other people (e.g. him being with her). He’d say things like “We aren’t compatible”, “You’d probably be better off with someone else”, “Nothing I do makes you happy”. At the end of that month I asked him if he even wanted to be with me, or saw hope for us, and he said “I dunno.” That’s when I decided to call the divorce. Not even a few days after that, he was reaching out to her & they were messaging each other, all day/every day. They’re already making future plans to be together after the divorce is finalized. I’d never heard of attachment theory before I made the decision to divorce him. Then all of a sudden your videos would pop up on Facebook. Listening to your podcasts & watching your videos have helped me so much & given me so much clarity. It’s through them that I realized my husband is a Dismissive Avoidant, & that my previous relationships were also the same attachment. Everything you’ve said is so spot on to what my husband was doing throughout our whole relationship/marriage. I am now doing the work to heal the core wounds within myself. I lost so much of who I am in this marriage that I’m going to take the next year to focus on healing my core wounds. When I’m ready to date again I only want to be attracted to securely attached men.

Waaaay too many ads and jarring when they interrupt her flow. Good content just can’t listen to this in podcast form.

Thais has helped me SO much get through and understand avoidant dynamics. Her intelligence and insightfulness are unmatched on this topic. So grateful for the work you’ve done and the information you’ve shared. Thank you ❤️

The podcast has some great information, but it’s really just her marketing her program her courses and her school. Not really much in the way of how to actually heal.
