Projection

Being on the receiving end of someone’s projection of their own insecurities starts at a young age. Maybe your parents wanted you to be the star athlete or social butterfly that they never were. Or perhaps there was someone in your class who bullied you for your weight or hand-me-down clothes. Chances are, those criticisms and worries were core anxieties that others unconsciously projected onto you. 

We may not be able to control how people project onto us, but we are able to choose how we react and internalize those judgements. As we grow older, we learn how to recognize when someone is speaking from a place of insecurity and when we’re doing the same right back. Creating boundaries and having honest conversations, regardless of how uncomfortable they may be, can help minimize the power of external projections. 

On today’s episode, we talk about our journeys with projection and how we’ve learned to call it out. We also discuss how we’ve managed to limit our own projections on others and how Tarot has helped us see experiences from a different perspective without overstepping boundaries.
