Projection -- when one attributes one’s own unacceptable thoughts or feelings onto another – is common in sibling estrangement. Some examples are when a sibling says,“You’re so selfish” or “You’ve always been jealous of me.” In this episode, we discuss how to become aware of projection and how to maintain personal boundaries without feeling the need to explain or justify oneself. For example, it’s best to offer short, unemotional responses, and avoid long discussions that can lead to emotional manipulation. Walking away may be necessary. Ultimately, self-respect and protecting one's peace are paramount.
