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
