Previous Episode: What is Contempt in Relationships? - TWR Podcast #91

Defensiveness is a common reaction to criticism, where individuals become protective and guarded, perceiving a threat to their self-esteem or sense of identity. It is a natural response when feeling attacked, but if it becomes a habitual pattern, it can damage relationships and hinder personal growth.

In this episode, Pye and Dr. Glen define defensiveness and discuss how to identify and change this behavior in relationships.
