His Side S01e10 – Deflection – The Tool for Dodging Difficult Conversations

In this insightful episode of HisSide on the StrongHome Network, host Jeff Reed gets into a topic that often goes unspoken—deflection—with licensed therapist, Lawrence Franklin and producer, JayCee Slade. Together, they explore what deflection really is, why it’s often used, and how it can sometimes be a man’s way of navigating conversations when honesty feels unsafe or challenging.

They break down why deflection can become a go-to tool for avoiding uncomfortable topics, shifting the focus away from personal vulnerability, and protecting emotions in the heat of a tough discussion. Jeff, Lawrence, and JayCee give real-life examples and insights into why many men feel they aren’t allowed to be fully open and honest in conversations, and how this can lead to creative “escape routes” like deflection.

Join the conversation to learn about the subtle art of deflection and its effects on communication and relationships. Remember to like, follow, and subscribe to the StrongHome Network for more episodes of HisSide and other powerful content!
