Welcome to the Love Shack, in this episode we're going to dive into the root of what destroys our relationships and makes them so challenging - defensiveness. Join us as we explore 10 things you can do today to improve your ability to resolve conflict and stay out of defensiveness. As human beings, we're really good at going into defensiveness and manipulation, but it's not our fault - we just haven't had the outside influence or education to do things differently. We will guide you through the strategies and coping skills we've learned to get our needs met instead of disclosing what we truly want, feel, or need. Tune in to hear practical tips on identifying when you're in defensiveness, understanding why it happens, and how to start working on it. If you're struggling in your relationship, this episode will equip you with the tools you need to communicate effectively and build a stronger connection with your partner.Don't miss out on this transformative episode of the Love Shack - hit play now!Important Links:• Learn more about The Better Love Club http://thebetterloveclub.com/• Get your copy of my brand new book Feeling Like Your Marriage Is Dead? http://lifetimeoflove.me/• Relationship Check-up - tired of re-hashing your issues with your partner without making progress?
