Ep. 106: Marriage Is Not for Sissies: Courage, Projection, and Projective Identification

from The Healthy Compulsive Project · host Gary Trosclair

It takes courage to make a relationship work. The courage to admit you’re wrong. The courage to persist when you’re right. The courage to take chances in communication, generosity and vulnerability. And most of all, the courage to objectively look at what’s happening emotionally inside of you. This episode explores projection and projective identification, two psychological processes that can make or break a relationship. It also suggests way to handle them when they're happening and to prevent them from happening in the first place.
