There are so often times when we are triggered by something in our outer world and we think it’s the other person making us angry, when in fact, it’s really that we’re seeing a part of ourselves reflected by that person. And this part of ourselves represents something that we have a hard time being with (i.e.: judgment, criticism, victim-mentality, etc). Welcome to the phenomenon called projection!

An important step on our journey is becoming aware of projection and how it works, so we can begin to notice our projections and do the work of owning them.
