Projections- gaslighting in 3D- are both aggressive and defensive mechanisms that we find equally fascinating and frustrating.  In the office, these projections can create a narrative that alters how others perceive you.  In your personal life, these projections create dysfunctional- even abusive- relationships.
Your hosts discuss examples of projections at work, home, and even a police officer in a convenience store.  Listen to how to identify projections, deflect those projections back, regain sanity, and work on restoring a productive relationship.
