Join Thais and Mike as they break down the key signs of healing, such as the avoidant's gradual reconnection with their emotions and body. They discuss practical tools and strategies for avoidants, like journaling, meditation, and mindfulness practices, to help them process suppressed feelings and reduce their instinct to avoid vulnerability. The episode also explores the common misconception that avoidants are emotionless, revealing how they often numb themselves rather than confront their inner experiences. The hosts share personal stories and provide real-life examples, including a powerful analogy comparing emotions to a "check engine light," signaling unmet needs. They offer insights on how avoidants can begin to recognize these signals and respond with self-care rather than avoidance. The conversation highlights the importance of routines, physical activity, and reducing technology use to help avoidants stay grounded and connected with their emotions. Listeners will gain actionable advice on how to support a partner with avoidant tendencies, including how to create a safe space for open communication and ways to encourage vulnerability without pressure.
