‘Evidence … is everything. Once someone is caught lying,
withholding important information,
or cheating,
all suspiciousness is now and forever justified
because they have evidence to the fact of lying and cheating.’- Dr. Stan Tatkin, PsyD, MFT
According to Dr. Stan Tatkin, ‘Deflection is a common deceptive strategy. … Deflection makes others angry because it distracts from the topic, and
it demonstrates a refusal to cooperate.
It also deprives both partners of timely relief,
which means heart rate and blood pressures will continue to rise,
making war more likely.’
