116. Why is my partner defensive and how to change it


Listen Later

Have you tried to raise an issue to your partner and rather than hear you, they whine, make excuses, or worse – they turn the issue on you?

Maybe you are the person who responds in these ways, and you don’t know why you do this.

 

In this podcast I will cover the common reasons people are defensive, and how to overcome it.

In this podcast we discuss:

- 5 reasons people are defensive

- The role of criticism

- What to do if you’re defensive

- Tools to change defensiveness

- Tools to decrease the chances your partner is defensive

 

 

This podcast is for informational purposes only.
