When you hold a narcissist accountable, the conversation doesn’t move toward clarity — it reroutes. In this episode, we break down deflection: the tactic that turns your valid concern into a brand-new argument, a distraction, or an attack on your character.

We explore why accountability feels threatening to narcissists, how they shift the spotlight to avoid responsibility, and the emotional toll this takes on you. If you’ve ever walked away wondering, “How did we end up talking about my tone instead of their behavior?” — this episode will finally give you language for that moment.

Learn how to recognize deflection in real time, stay grounded in the truth, and stop absorbing blame that was never yours.
