I'm not sure if this is just my confusion or what...
I'm thinking about transference and projection.
So projection is when...?
You project feelings / thoughts that you have that you are afraid of?
Is that it?
Whereas transference is when you see someone as being like someone from your past?
Does that seem right?When you get lots of 'mmm hmms' and 'I sees' then is that supposed to facilitate both transference and projection?
E.g.,
If you are afraid t is judging you negatively... Then you could project that so that you come to believe that t is judging you negatively.
You could believe that t is judging you negatively because someone significant has done this in the past (transference)
So can they both operate at the same time?
Can a certain thing (belief that one is being judged negatively by t) be both the result of projection and transference? At the same time? Or is one of the terms more fitting?
Or would one of the terms be more fitting in any particular case?????
