PROJEKSİYON / YANSITMA

In this conversational video, Gülen Gündüz Yılmaz and her guest Levent discuss the psychological concept of projection (yansıtma). They begin by defining projection as the mind’s way of interpreting reality by mapping external objects, events, and people onto internal schemas, noting that all perception involves some form of projection. The dialogue distinguishes between healthy, neutral projections (e.g., planning a trip, packing a suitcase) and unhealthy, defensive projections that arise when a person rejects parts of themselves and blames or criticizes others. They explain why people fail to notice their own projections: the rejected inner material creates a comforting illusion of safety, while the external blame prevents personal empowerment. Childhood conditioning and cultural “meliler‑malılar” (beliefs) are identified as root causes that teach people to suppress authentic feelings, leading to repeated patterns such as labeling confident people as arrogant or attributing personal insecurities to others. The speakers illustrate how unhealthy projections damage relationships—romantic, familial, and professional—by reducing others to single traits (e.g., “he is cheating,” “she is too masculine”). They argue that unexamined projections block deep connection and personal growth. To work on projections, they propose two main avenues: group facilitation sessions where participants safely trigger and observe projections, and individual therapy that explores suppressed parts and develops neglected qualities. A concrete exercise is offered: write down five to ten situations where you feel irritated with others, note the specific trait you object to, read the statements aloud, and then reflect on how that trait mirrors an aspect of yourself. The video ends with a call for viewers to share their reflections and to subscribe for future content.
