Projection and Psychological Projection - Are You Projecting?

This video will help you become more aware of your unconscious projections and liberate yourself from illusions!

Projection | Are you Projecting? | Becoming Conscious of Psychological Projection

In this video, I talk all about projection and how to become aware of when you're projecting and when you're experiencing reality for what it is.

I also make the distinction between psychological projection and projection in general and give many personal anecdotes and examples of projection.

Psychological projection is a very specific type of projection based in unconscious assumptions about particular people and human nature in general. This is often a reflection of the repressed aspects of ourselves lurking the subconscious mind.

Projection in general is much more practical and subtle, where it enables us to use our intellect for understanding reality for functional purposes.

So, you might wonder "Am I projecting" or "Is he projecting" or "Is she projecting"... and the answer is definitely yes on all counts. Everyone uses projection... but sometimes it ends in psychologically projecting our ideas over our friends, family, and relationship partners.

This helped a lot. The source of my social anxiety formed once I awoke to the reality that a great many people are always projecting and, subsequently, the time spent tearing down these assumptions and expectations during conversation resulted in wasted energy or becoming psychologically exhausted. Serenity came as I discovered and accepted the changes occurring within as opposed presuming I needed to change anyone's perspective. "Is this pleasurable for the both of us" became the focus while socializing.

This is the most comprehensive and clear explanation of projection I've ever heard or read. Great examples given as well as exercises!

This was unprecedented. The density of significant, pertinent, and multifaceted information was almost staggering, and the delivery was prodigal. The content, integrity, clarity and flow was magnificent in every way.

We label things as a function of language, which we use to communicate. A problem arises when we confuse our mental constructs for the reality around and within us. These mental constructs are based on beliefs we have found to be useful in terms of navigating our world and communicate with each other. These ideas about the world are the illusion of Maya; or projection. You are spot on.

Another excellent video Emerald! It's like it often somes down to the same thing... the thinking mind obviously being incredibly useful, but often obscuring a deeper reality that reveals itself we become aware of our own awareness. Not to rid of the thoughts and concepts, but to change our relationship to them.

Wow! Emerald, I've been watching quite a number of your videos and always seem to learn something new from your unique angle! Thank you for your excellent content! ❤

Projection is simply an inevitable sunbconcious aspect of humanity. You can look beyong, but even ur understanding of that will be partially projection.

Your explanation of projection is so spot on for me. I had this video playing and was getting ready for my day so I was halfway listening until I heard you speak on how we describe a dog’s personality through our own projections. I am a dog groomer and this was the first thing I noticed about human projection as well. I immediately stopped when I heard you say that and started the video over again and sat to listen. I loved this . Thanks

11:50 this is called emotional reasoning and it’s categorized as an automatic negative thought in cognitive behavioral therapy! Great video. I’ve been binging all of these and learning a lot ☺️

Really interesting video. Projective identification is also part of this as some of what gets projected also get introjected and then played out in response to the projection.

You should be a life coach for teenagers. You have a great dominion of word expression or language. It’s easy to listen to you and understand what you are intending to convey.

This is fascinating, thank you for the excellent explanation. I had heard of projecting as a negative thing but i understand it better now. If I understand correctly, all assumptions we make are projections. This seems to be very important to understand for someone healing from trauma. Thanks again.

Projection!! I think I'm in Love because when I look into your eyes I see myself in you ❤️ ❤️

[autokrohne]

Thank you for this perspective. It’s very wise.

The best projection is: to keep an eye on my balance because this is what tomorrow is to be adjusted to!
