Unlock the secrets to your deepest self and enhance your relationships through the transformative power of Jungian coaching! In this episode of Soul Sessions, we’re exploring the concept of projection and how reclaiming your personal power can change your life.
If you want to become a life coach and wonder how you can help others, listen to our recent Soul Sessions podcast episode to explore how our unique Jungian coaching model is the future of coaching.
Projection is something we all do unconsciously. It is one of the primary defenses of our ego that we must dismantle in order to evolve from our old patterns and step into our more authentic self.
What does it look like?
You have a critical boss but you don’t realize you are projecting your own insecurities. Then, you project that idea of “not enough” onto the people who work for you and they always seem to let you down.
You are infatuated with a new crush but are projecting your own beauty and loving qualities that you don’t see in yourself.
You look at your savings and see safety and security. The sense of security is a projection.
When your husband leaves the dishes in the sink, you are projecting judgments on his behavior that actually say more about you than him.
If you don’t understand your own projections, it could be disastrous in relationships.
In Jungian Coaching, we use projections to see our shadow self which contains unconscious parts of us that we reject or deny. These irritating qualities show up in other people as a projection and are accompanied with an emotional trigger. The trigger can be positive like infatuation or adoration or it can be negative like disdain or repulsion. We have both light and dark qualities in our shadow.
By retrieving the projection, you are able to see yourself and others in a more authentic way. You are no longer limited by the past and let go of fear of being rejected by others. You fully accept all of your human traits unconditionally.
