Dismissive avoidants are known for suppressing emotions, pulling away from closeness, and avoiding vulnerability—but what happens when they realize they made a mistake after a breakup? In this episode of The Thais Gibson Podcast, Thais breaks down the most common patterns dismissive avoidants go through post-breakup, how they process regret, and whether they will reach out or avoid dealing with their emotions altogether.
