- Defense mechanisms are there to protect us but what happens when defense mechanisms get in the way of our development and personal growth? The second most used defense mechanism is projection. Projection is misinterpreting what is inside of us and assuming that it is coming from someone else. We often project our unwanted feelings on another person. Projection is taking things we don’t want to face about ourselves and seeing them in someone else. It is a safe place to see the issues in others, instead of in ourselves. We often don’t realize that others are projecting upon us, which can lead to hurt. When we project our internal thoughts and feelings on others, it sets us up for a miserable existence believing that others are focused on you, causing you to constantly judge yourself. Projection creates ambiguity, self-doubt, insecurity, and social anxiety. Projection is a difficult defense mechanism to see in ourselves, it is very automatic. Once we become aware and recognize that we are projecting, it will help us with our self-esteem, self-worth, and value. Please share this video with family and friends. It is very valuable to be able to identify when we are being projected upon or when we are projecting ourselves on others.
Do you want to understand how our mental programming was created? Understanding where our programming began and how it was created (how it began) is crucial to put an end to it. Our desire for acceptance and approval keeps us in a loop of looking for it from others. When we look to others for approval and acceptance we tend to enter into toxic relationships. These relationships can begin in ways that we feel are good, exciting, and fun. However, they can change over time and we begin to feel as if we have lost our identity. In order to truly work on ourselves we must understand who we truly are at the core of our being. Working with me is easy and you can schedule your first session online at www.ashleyberg...

Are you having trouble figuring out how to get started? In order to begin working on ourselves we need to get to know ourself by becoming a friend to ourself. In order to be a friend to yourself you must take the time and make the effort to see your value seperate from others and seperate from relationships.

My last relationship, which hurt a ton was filled with projection. She thought I was adding and flirting with girls on social media when I wasn’t. I added 30 people
During our relationship, she added 300 guys. She was upset about liking pictures on IG but she was doing the same thing. I projected some back, with what I assumed was her reasons before I had more concrete proof. I realize I do minor projections in my normal life about how someone reacts to things.
Wow. Reminds me when I broke with my BPD GF, she told me " you used me, I know it". And she clearly let her cat out of the bag...
Definitely projection on her part. Glad you were able to see that clearly, and not get lost in the trap of projection and questioning yourself.
@@LifecoachAshleyBerges absolutely! Been there, done that already... thank you for your help!
Is anyone reading these yet? Just in case... There are times when "projecting" is used as an ad hominem, especially on social networks. When pointing out flaws in philosophies, someone's logical fallacies, etc., other people and I have been hit with, "You're projecting!" Actually, no. In fact, it may be a reverse projection. Also, the subject matter is not discussed, and accusations of projecting are distractions.
I appreciate your thought process - thank you for your comment and thoughtfulness.
If you say to someone you are emotionally abusive and back it up with objective proof and examples is that projection, I personally dont think it is but makes me feel like, what if Im the emotionally abusive one even though I have objective proof and examples like one time my emotionally abusive ex said "im sorry you feel that way" (non apology) when I shared that something she did hurt me.
Denial goes along with projection . you said it in passing but as a clinician they're trying to avoid their own stuff.
And they won't take the glasses off. I believe its best to try all glasses then what we come away with is more reality based. Not everyone is watching you. Maybe she can do ego functions next interview. The paranoia that comes with extreme use of projection carries with it grandiosity. It does because I am special enough to have people watch me or look at me funny. If someone looks at you funny maybe they just came from a dental procedure. Its not always about you.
So true Ed. I appreciate your feedback!
