Ep. 52 - Defensiveness to Understanding (Your Reconnection Code, Part 3)

from Reclaiming the Gentle Man · host Dave Lishansky

Most of us have been called defensive at some point. And most of us, when it happens, are pretty sure we have a good reason.In this episode, we look at what's actually happening underneath the defense — what we're protecting, why it feels so necessary in the moment, and what it costs us in the relationships we care most about. We get into why being right so often loses us the thing we actually want, and one small practice that can change how the next hard conversation goes.If you want to know which patterns show up most for you in conflict, take the free 3-minute assessment linked below.Take the free 3-minute assessmentFollow on Instagram
