Defensiveness in relationships is normal and something all of us experience at one time or another. In this episode, we discuss the things that could be behind that defensiveness. Are you communicating with your partner in a way that is coming off judgmental or attacking? Is your partner feeling hurt or scared? We explore the common root of defensiveness, hurt and fear, and learn healthy ways to navigate our relationships through these moments of discord into greater intimacy.Share your questions with us at: <a href="https://my.captivate.fm/whydoesmypartner.com/contact" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">whydoesmypartner.com/contact</a>If you want to dive in deeper, consider registering for our online Essential Skills Relationship Bootcamp.
