How Defenses Affect Your Relationship

This episode discusses how we all have defenses that we use without our awareness.  We use them when we are afraid, in order to protect us from being hurt in love.  But, oftentimes these defensive styles create issues in our relationships, whether we are dating or married. They tend to push our partner or potential partner away and stop us from having intimacy and connection. Examples are given about how to identify your defensive style, to observe where it comes from and how to change it.  This opens up your ability to shift from fear into love and to have greater choice about how to move your relationship forward.
