175 | Projection - How to Recognize & Master It [From The Soul Podcast by Stacey Wheeler]

Each of us sees the world from our own unique perspective. But how can we know if our perspective is right? How can we be sure the way we see the world isn’t flawed? At times, it may even be steering us in the wrong way. Today we look at projection... how it is developed in our lives, how it influences our beliefs, and interactions, and how to overcome it. When we understand it, we can use it to become a better version of ourselves.

“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.”   - Carl Jung

“We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, we are everywhere.” -Ted Bundy

“In analytical psychology, the shadow (also known as id, shadow aspect, or shadow archetype) includes everything in the unconscious mind, good or bad. Another definition in shadow psychology is that the shadow might include only the part of the personality that you don’t want to identify as part of yourself but is still a part of your unconscious mind. This darker side of your personality holds everything your conscious mind can’t admit about itself.” -Jung
