Dr Rachel Hannam on Projection | ABC Radio | The Psychology of Projecting: Why Do We Do It?

Dr Rachel Hannam of North Brisbane Psychologists spoke with Ashwin Segkar on ABC Radio Brisbane about projection as a psychological defense mechanism. When people project, they place their negative emotions, beliefs, ideas, or traits onto someone else. People project to protect themselves from the unknown or uncomfortable inner conflict and anxiety. But this behavior can interfere with various relationships and situations. While challenging to confront, we can stop projecting and interact with others in healthier ways.
