In this episode, we explore the powerful psychological concept of shadow transfer. If you’ve ever found yourself intensely triggered by someone else’s behavior and wondered why—it might not be about them at all.

You’ll learn:

  • What shadow transfer is and how it differs from projection
  • How it shows up in friendships, work environments, and even romantic dynamics
  • Why recognizing your shadow patterns is a radical act of healing
  • How to respond with self-awareness and compassion instead of blame
