Is there anything less sexy than DEFENSIVENESS?

Are you struggling with a partner that get's defensive? Maybe they are using some of the phrases mentioned above...

Perhaps, you're the one getting defensive whenever your partner brings something up. So, what can you do about it?

First, it's all about looking inward. Notice when you or your partner is getting defensive and ask yourself why. It's not about winning the argument, but really hearing each other out.

Try saying 'I feel...' instead of 'You always...' to keep things cool. It's like saying, 'Hey, this is about me, not you,' and it helps your partner listen without feeling attacked.

Listening is key, too. I mean really listening, not just waiting for your turn to speak. Put yourself in their shoes and try to get where they're coming from.

And remember, it's not about pointing fingers. Focus on the problem, not the person. Make some rules for arguing fair – no low blows, no dragging up the past.

Remember, it's all about growing together and strengthening our bonds.

👇🏻 Start here 🔥Albert Einstein knew what he was talking about when he said: “The definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome.” 🫶🏻There’s no shame in not knowing how to communicate your needs and feelings in a healthy way. Many of us didn’t grow up in a home where healthy communication was modeled. But, you have two choices: 🤔 ❌ You can keep doing the same things over and over again and hope for the best. OR ✅ You can get help and learn how to talk to your partner so they feel valued, understood and loved. 🖤 Relationships are a two-way street and both partners need to self-reflect so they can discover the root cause and trigger of their communication struggles. ✨ I’ve created a workbook: “The Couples Communication Handbook” to help couples learn healthy communication and conflict resolution. ✏️ Comment the word HANDBOOK and I’ll send you the link. . . . . . . #conflictresolution #healthyrelationship #healthycommunication #couplescommunication #communicationiskey #communication #relationshipadvice #relationshiptips #relationshipgoals #strongrelationships
