Defensiveness feels like strength, but it’s actually weakness dressed up as control. Think about it: when someone critiques you, do you immediately push back, explain, or accuse? That’s reactivity — not strength. The strongest people know the importance of a tactical pause. They hit pause before they defend. In that pause, they breathe, they listen, and they choose curiosity over impulse. Instead of lashing out, they say, “Tell me more.” It doesn’t mean they agree. It doesn’t mean they give in.

Don’t go until you read this👇 Defensiveness isn’t the real enemy here. It’s a symptom of the problem. The deep shame that you feel is the core issue. When your partner brings up pain, and your body instantly jumps to “I didn’t mean it!”, what’s actually happening is a nervous system trying to protect itself from shame. It’s not that you don’t care, it’s that you care too much about being “the bad guy.” But defensiveness blocks empathy. It shuts down connection right when you need it most. So th

You’ve probably heard of sensory processing disorder. This is what it looks like for Jess. It’s called Tactile Defensiveness, and Jess has had issues like this forever. It doesn’t mean that she’s scared of her dogs. It means she has reactions to unexpected jumps, bumps, and scratches which are aversive, negative and out of proportion to what most people would find to be non-painful. When Jess is sleepy, tired, or stressed, she is more likely to have a more intense reaction. She is all of these t

Jess has tactile defensiveness. This means that she is aversive to certain types of tactile stimuli that most people would find to be non-painful, such as fur, and she has a negative and out of proportion reaction to an unexpected touch. The feel of fur and the uncertainty of puppy movements triggers anxiety. When we brought Zoë home, Jess made quick progress with her.

Jess has tactile defensiveness, a form of sensory processing disorder. This means she’s more sensitive to the sense of touch. Her whole life, she has struggled with fur. In other words, she has an aversion to the way fur feels. However, Jess has not wanted to let that aversion hold her back. She was able to first overcome this issue with our older dog, Abby. What you see in this video is major progress with Jess and Zoë. This is the first time I’ve seen Jess kiss Zoë. 😘 Zoë’s fur is a completel
