About this episode


One of the most powerful things I have EVER learned about in therapy is the concept of Projection. It's a psychological (and subconscious) defense mechanism- but what is it protecting? Can we know if we are projecting? What does it look like if someone is projecting on to us? How can we stay clear of someone's projections?


All these I explore & discuss in today's episode!
