i'm not sure i understand "projection" entirely. what is "projection"? I have used the term myself...but moreso thought it was similar to transference.

my Therapist used to say something to the effect: "you can't make people upset or angry or hurt....they get upset or angry or upset because of something in them." she may have been more refering to me as a 16 year old relating to older people...or just me in general as a child relating to my parents or other parental figures.
