Lessons Learned Soul Tribe-Projection

Welcome to Lessons Learned Soul Tribe. Today, we're going to talk about projection. So projection normally occurs when you are triggered and you're not aware that you're triggered. You're in a situation where somebody triggers you and then you turn around and project all of the feelings that are coming up on to that other person. A lot of times these triggers are pretty intense and they are again tied back to traumatic situations where your ego has put in defense mechanisms due to particular situation or a particular feeling and then all of a sudden; you're just in it and everything is coming out your mouth. You’re not even really aware of it until you see that person's face- that’s your telltale sign. When the ego kicks in in such a strong way that you're projecting these emotions on to another person, it's because these emotions are pretty intense for you and you may not even know how to deal with them, so that's where the projection comes from. These could be feelings of guilt, shame, betrayal, abandonment, not feeling safe, they could be feeling like you need to control things, being right all the time. There are so many different things that the ego will bring up for you when you get triggered. All you can do when this happens is you use your awareness and try to stop yourself in the track of doing it. The more you practice the awareness, the more you practice understanding where things are coming from, the easier it will become to actually look through these things and begin to heal them. So I encourage you when this happens to be kind to yourself. Also, when you have these thoughts, these feelings recognize them and be like, “Okay I see you, I know you, I got you.” Tell yourself, “I understand where this is coming from,” but then stop yourself and just really work through those feelings. Find out why and drill down like I talked about in other episodes. Drill down, be the detective, keep asking yourself why until you get to the root of it. You can do this this! This is your journey to get back to your authentic self, this is your journey to empower yourself! It's not going to be easy but I'm here with you.
