Does this sound familiar to you?

Do you run away from relationships when things get more serious? Have you woken up in the middle of the night in panic, considering leaving your partner – though everything was going well?

Do you ever:

Run away from a relationship before it starts, because your partner is coming too close too soon?
Scrutinize your partner, looking for reasons you’re not compatible?
Get hung up on details – such as your partner’s hairstyle or sneakers – as a reason why things won’t work out?
Seek validation outside of the relationship, or fantasize about other people?
Blame your partner for bringing up commitment or discussing the future, although you love them?
Avoid sharing what you want and need, because you assume your partner won’t care?

If so, you’re not alone. You just have a dismissive avoidant attachment style – and this course will provide you strategies and tools to create lasting relationships where you feel valued and seen, yet have your autonomy.

In this course, you can look forward to…

Learning how to communicate your need for space, so you can experience balanced relationships where both you and your partner are happy.
Understanding why you feel the need to nitpick, so you can learn to discern when something is a deal-breaker from when you’re self-sabotaging.
Zooming out and appreciating your partner for who they are, so you can transcend your unhelpful patterns and create a stable relationship.
Getting clear on your needs and practicing expressing them, so you can be more fulfilled and seen in your relationship.
Realizing where your fear of commitment comes from, so you can drop it and build a future with your person.
Seeing that your partner deeply cares about you and is willing to meet your needs, so you can cultivate the courage to express them.

The Personal Development School has helped thousands of people make inspiring life transformations.

"PDS replaced therapy for me. I was a Fearful Avoidant, and I could not explain why I struggled in relationships. The constant need for connection and the fear of having one was very draining. I am so grateful to PDS that finally I realize that my worth is not related to anything I achieve but to the person that I am. Also learning about other attachment styles helped me to become more compassionate to people around me."

- Athira

"I’ve been a member since June, 2020. This experience has been a life changer for me. I have always been a seeker and self-improvement fan, but the courses and webinars with Thais as well as the zoom meetings with the community led by Mike, have given me actionable tools and a supportive safe space to discuss and practice them. I am so fortunate to have found this school and so many friendly folks to share this journey!"

- Carrie

"Joining PDS was the single best decision I made last year as it opened my eyes to the possibility that I could dramatically improve the quality of my relationships and that my past did not have to define my future. The PDS community is a truly supportive environment, my only regret is that I did not find all this out sooner as it has been truly life changing for me!"

- Leona

"I’ve researched relationships most of my life. However, I couldn’t find anything that explained my dynamic in them. I thought about therapy until I stumbled upon Thais’s YouTube channel. She explained EXACTLY what I was experiencing. She literally read my mind! I’m usually a bit of a skeptic but I was hooked! I finally figured out my problem and how to solve it!"

- Melissa

“PDS is an incredible resource. The work is powerful. It’s helped me to heal some hard wounds and change my life to one that is more balanced, more joyful and based in a deep sense of self-love and understanding. You choose how to heal and you get to do it in an environment steeped in compassion, connection, integrity and personal accountability.”

- Tamara

“PDS has had such an amazing impact on my relationships, my self-esteem and has given me valuable self-awareness. The community has so many brilliant, and like-minded individuals who I always look forward to talking to! The tools within PDS have provided me with the strength, and ability to heal, almost completely from my anxiety, and I feel so much more confident within myself.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Advanced Dismissive Avoidant Attachment Style Course for me?
If you have a dismissive avoidant attachment style, and want to enjoy meaningful relationships that last long beyond the dating phase, this course will help you experience more fulfilling relationships. It will guide you toward a secure attachment style, whether your partner is securely attached or has an insecure attachment style. As a dismissive avoidant person, you often fear emotional connection in a romantic relationship. You also tend to avoid your own emotions. Although emotional closeness feels unsafe, and you may feel more comfortable when you avoid emotional connection, you miss out on the satisfaction and fulfillment relationships tend to bring. This course is specifically designed for people with dismissive avoidant attachment. It speaks to you in your language, making it easy to digest and apply the teachings to your romantic relationships. It's also perfect if you're single and want your next connection to be a healthy relationship from the start.
How does the dismissive avoidant attachment style develop?
Dismissive avoidant attachment style (sometimes referred to as avoidant dismissive attachment style) is one of the three insecure attachment styles – the other two are anxious attachment style (also called anxious-preoccupied) and fearful avoidant attachment style. These adult attachment styles are formed in early childhood, and reflect in how we deal with emotional intimacy in intimate relationships as adults. People with an insecure attachment style experienced some kind of disconnect with a primary caregiver (or both) as kids. Dismissive avoidants grew up with avoidant adults, or adults that couldn't provide the emotional intimacy they needed. This could be subtle, such as a lack of emotional intelligence in one or both caregivers leading to emotional distance, or more severe such as abusive behavior. The subconscious pattern that formed during child development in a person with a dismissive avoidant attachment style is: when I seek support, I will be rejected. Dismissive avoidant people learned that self-reliance is safer than emotional vulnerability and seeking support from a caregiver. They experience close relationships as something more negative than positive, which naturally makes it challenging to be fully present in adult relationships – let alone commit to lasting romantic relationships. It can feel more comfortable to be in casual relationships or less meaningful connections – but this defense mechanism that often doesn't lead to long-term fulfillment. Luckily, like all insecure attachment styles, a dismissive avoidant attachment can be reprogrammed into a more secure attachment style – something you'll learn in this course!
Can I take the Advanced Dismissive Avoidant Attachment Style Course as a single course?
Yes! The Advanced Dismissive Avoidant Attachment Style Course gives you all the tools you need to heal your dismissive attachment style and see your close relationship in a more positive light, or if you're currently not in an intimate relationship, ensure your social and personal relationships are balanced and stable. If you're single, you'll also pave the path for close relationships and romantic partners that are healthy and balanced from scratch.
I’m not sure if I have the time for this…
In this course, you'll learn not only how dismissive avoidant attachment style develops, but also how to act the moment you feel triggered. The powerful and practical tools and techniques will help you shift into a more secure attachment style. Imagine how much time you lose from being stuck in an attachment pattern that has you avoid the love and safety that can come from adult relationships, and the time you take to criticize your romantic partner just because you feel uncomfortable with close relationships. It's easy to see that although the dismissive attachment style might have served you in childhood to protect you from pain, it prevents you from the fulfillment and stability of attachment security. So by investing in your avoidant dismissive attachment style, and making a conscious effort to shift to secure attachment, you'll save time, energy, and headaches in the long run!
Is the all-access pass worth it?
If you want to experience the relief of being part of a community and get social support from like-minded people, the All-Access Pass is definitely worth it! Plus, you'll get access to our entire course library, where you can learn about adult attachment and the four main attachment styles – and take other courses in personal development. Learn to set goals you meet and exceed, set healthy boundaries, improve your communication skills, get high self-esteem, and enjoy the present moment. You'll be surprised at how much and fast you'll grow when you make a conscious effort!
