There Is A Reason Why We Project Our Issues Onto Others

For a number of years, I thought that the reason we projected our inner world/issues onto others was due to a lack of awareness; therefore, this wouldn't take place if someone was self-aware. This was something that I was fairly convinced of.

I think I even wrote a number of articles where I went into this, and this is what I would usually say if I was having a conversation with someone. It took me a little while to come to this conclusion.

Over The years

Up until this point in time, I had read a number of books, worked with different therapists and healers, and listened to different audio books. Furthermore, I had spent a lot of time reflecting on this.

Fortunately, I had an open mind and was open to hearing things that went against what I believed to be true. As a result of this, I was willing to think about another way of looking at why projection takes place.

One Moment

This was something that I believed until around 2015 or 2016, and then it all changed after working with a therapist called Vijay Rana. I can't remember exactly how we ended up talking about this, but what I do remember is that Vijay had another outlook.

He said that he had heard that the reason we project our inner world/issues onto others, is so that we can become aware of what is taking place within us. This is not something that can happen directly, so it has to happen indirectly.
