Relational Weeds: Defensiveness

from Embrace the Mud Hosted by Dara Poznar

Today’s weed is defensiveness. The Gottman Institute has defined defensiveness as "righteous indignation or innocent victimhood in an attempt to ward off a perceived attack". Why do we get defensive, why does defensiveness harm relationships, and what can we do instead of being defensive? These are the questions we’re answering in this episode.
