About this listen
Projection, Misattribution, and Relational Collapse
Most human relationships don’t fall apart because of what was said or done. They collapse because internal discomfort gets assigned to the wrong source.
In this episode, we break down how projection and misattribution quietly destroy human relationships long before anyone realizes what’s happening. We explore why dysregulated nervous systems turn sensation into accusation, why certainty often feels like truth, and how blame becomes a shortcut for relief when self-regulation is unavailable.
This is not a conversation about villains or victims. It’s about how humans unconsciously externalize fear, shame, overwhelm, and unmet needs — and how relationships absorb the damage when internal states are mistaken for external threats.
If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, blamed for something you couldn’t quite name, or watched a relationship collapse without a clear cause, this episode gives you the framework to understand what actually happened beneath the surface.
This is a human-level conversation about responsibility, perception, and the cost of assigning feelings to the wrong place.
