Transference is when you, for instance, get mad at your T or someone because they remind you of someone else from your past or now even that has made you angry.

Projection ... which I am asking about so I am trying to learn more is a matter of projecting feelings or emotions. I may project or accuse or make note of someone feeling a certain way and actually those are my feelings that I have said someone else has.

I understand better now the difference between transference and projection. Thanks, SG. I think the two examples I gave earlier in this thread are both not projection then, by your definition. They would be transference.
