Ever been confused by someone’s reaction to you?
That discomfort might not be about you at all.
In this episode, we dive into:
- What projection really is (and how to spot it)
- Subtle ways it shows up (e.g., "must be nice" comments or unfair assumptions)
- Why we often absorb others' projections as truth
- The cost of shrinking ourselves to keep others comfortable
- How to use the Three R’s Framework from The Reset Button:
- Reflect: Notice what’s really happening
- Reset: Respond with intention
- Reinvent: Choose a new way forward
- A personal story: how I projected my childhood birthday trauma onto my son's party
- The power of learning to “observe, not absorb”
Takeaway:
Understanding projection helps you stay grounded, protect your energy, and stop carrying what’s not yours.
