Projected self

It’s time to consider the possibility that there is a self—a part of us that is real, unique, and essentially "us"—which can be seen as distinct from what we’ve incorporated as an identity based on others' projections, rejections, actions and reactions towards us. And if that is true, how much of you is really authentic self, and how much is identity?-- Andrea Mathews LPC, NCC, Posted April 24, 2013
