This week, we go into our 3rd part in our 4 part series based on John Gottman's four horsemen. In this episode, Defensiveness is the topic (something Kate and I both know very well). We talk about how defensiveness can become a habit, how it doesn't open you up to solutions, and how to move away from it to create space for growth.
