Ever find yourself getting irrationally annoyed at someone, only to realize later that you were actually mad at yourself? Or maybe someone accused you of something completely off-base, and you thought, Wait… that’s not me, that’s YOU!? That, my friends, is projection, one of the sneakiest defense mechanisms that can wreck relationships and keep us from real self-awareness.

In this episode of Shrink Shots, we’re diving into:

✅ What projection really is (and why we all do it sometimes)
✅ How to spot projection in yourself and others
✅ Famous examples of projection—politicians, religious leaders, and even your boss
✅ How to stop projecting and actually deal with your own emotions

If you’ve ever wondered why certain people trigger you so much, or why some folks love blaming others for their own behavior, this episode is for you.

🎧 Hit play now and learn how to recognize projection—so you can stop being mad at people for things that were never really about them in the first place.
