Hi Hannah,

Thanks so much for your honest and open reflection. This is for sure a dynamic that effects many people unconsciously, and so bringing light to it, can really help people see it and move past it.

This is also an essential additional point that you brought up...

but then feeling disappointed or even angry because they don't meet the expectations from the projection and this is where the drama kicked in

So what I've witnessed is then a knee jerk swing of the pendulum back the other way - as the resentment is expressed, the reaction is then over energised.

Thanks for your contribution!

Open
