Defensiveness in Conflict: Release Your Need for Unhealthy Self-Protection and Improve the Quality of Your Intimate Relationships
In this episode, we’re exploring defensiveness in conflict—why it shows up, how it protects us in unhealthy ways, and how it actually damages the intimacy we long for. Defensiveness can look like shutting down, blaming, or constantly explaining ourselves, but underneath it is usually fear of being judged, hurt, or rejected. When we begin to notice these patterns and release the need for constant self-protection, we create space for openness, healthier communication, and deeper connection in our intimate relationships.
