Episode 350: When you try to talk… and somehow you become the problem.
Defensiveness doesn’t always look like anger.
Sometimes it looks like minimizing, mocking, dismissing, or explaining things away.
In this episode, I talk about:
• why people get defensive
• how avoidance can be loud or quiet
• how to respond without escalating
• and the red flags that mean a boundary has been crossed
If you’ve ever felt shut down for asking a real question, this one’s for you.
