What if our judgments of others are actually just a mirror? What if the people who annoy, irritate, or frustrate us are simply reflecting the parts of ourselves we haven’t yet faced?
In this episode, I explore the concept of shadow projections—the unconscious ways we assign meaning to others based on the parts of ourselves we've denied, rejected, or disowned.
I share how projections shape our development, how feedback from others can mirror our insecurities or reveal our shadows, and why our reactions often have less to do with others and more to do with what remains unresolved within us.
We also look at how unexamined projections contribute to division, polarization, and cross-cultural conflict—and why personal integration is essential for collective transformation.
