Thoughts with a running therapist: defensive When others say something is your immediate reaction to be defensive? Pause and ask yourself why am I defensive about this? Is part of you hurt by what was said and what does that mean for you? Sometimes it is reframing what the other person is trying to say and ourselves taking it poorly. Other times it may be a genuine attack: which this reel is NOT addressing that situation. If you need help finding what helps you, how to respond without defensiveness in these misunderstanding situations: please contact me. My link is in my bio.
