Deep dives
Understanding Projection
Projection is defined as projecting an unwanted aspect of oneself onto others, often unconsciously. For instance, an individual who recognizes they are not a good listener may deny this painful self-truth and instead perceive others as poor listeners. This allows them to project their internal struggles onto other people, leading to distorted interpretations of their actions. Such projection can arise from unresolved issues and creates a cycle where the individual perceives others as failing to meet their needs.
