## Resource

Zach sits down with Thais Gibson, founder of the Personal Development School, to explore why our childhood wounds quietly run our adult relationships — and what we can actually do about it. Thais breaks down the science of attachment styles, explains the difference between love and emotional obsession (limerence), reveals why people cheat (it's not what you think), and shares a powerful subconscious rewiring technique you can start using tonight. Whether you're stuck in a push-pull relationship, wondering why you keep going back to the same person, or just want to understand yourself better — this episode is for you. 🔗 Take the free attachment quiz: personaldevelopmentschool.com Follow Thais on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepersonaldevelopmentschool/ Topics covered: – What attachment styles are & how they form – The bear in the woods: why our brains hold onto pain – Limerence vs. real love (and the Starbucks story) – Why people cheat — and what the 90% actually have in common – How to set boundaries with regulated tone + strong language – The subconscious rewiring tool you can do in 5 minutes a day – Why affirmations don't work (and what does)
