I came across the following blog about how to overcome defensiveness.
https://leadingwithquestions.com/personal-growth/overcoming-defensiveness/
I like the blogger mentioned 3 F(Fight, Flight and Freeze) - response when we perceive ourselves in dangers, which is the cause of our defensiveness.. She suggested Stop, Drop and Roll remedy with illustration with three different scenarios/cases common to us.
I found some of the key concepts mentioned in her conclusion/the bottom line helpful:

I found some of the key concepts mentioned in her conclusion/the bottom line helpful:
"We are hardwired to protect ourselves.
To find the connection, even when you want to defend yourself, try getting curious and listening. Ask a question.
Curiosity brings us closer together, while defensiveness drives us apart."
Stop: Figure out who we are -- hardwired to protect ourselves.
Drop: Explore and Connect with yourself, others and God,
Roll: Try getting curious and listening, asking a question. Move forward.
What do we feel/fear, when we encountered God? How well do we connect with ourselves, others and God? What would be our next response? Defense, deny or ask a good question and following by obedience with action steps.
