Have you ever felt blamed for something you didn't do? Maybe even when you know the person blaming you is the one who behaves in that way?Or have you ever been attracted to the 'wrong' type of people?If so, it could be influenced by projection.Projection is where we attribute our unwanted thoughts, feelings, motives and desires onto other people. Some signs we may be projecting are when we feel overly hurt or defensive about something someone has said or done.Or when we allow someone to push our buttons in ways that don't happen with other people. We can also project positive qualities onto other people that may not be there, and lead us getting into relationships that aren't good for us.In this episode, we're going to talk about projection and some of the things you can do to become aware of it and positively influence your relationships.
