1
One of the most continuously fascinating ideas in psychotherapy is the concept of projection.
2
What this means, simply put, is that all of us have a storehouse of assumptions about what other people are like and how they will behave,
3
which owes very little to actual people who we meet today
4
and has a lot more to do with complications in our childhoods which we have generally forgotten all about.
5
Furthermore, these projections tend to be distinctly and unfruitfully negative.
6
We think worse of people than we should.
7
We are quicker to be afraid, to be angry and to be uncooperative than we need to be
8
because our imaginations are filled with dark experiences which reflect our painful origins and yet fail to do justice to a broader,
9
more innocent and more hopeful present.
10
As a result, our projections gum up our relationships with the world around us.
11
We arrive in the presence of other people with a great deal more aggression, suspicion, fear or doubt than is warranted in the here and now.
12
The theory of projections sounds simple and plausible enough.
13
The difficulty is that it's extremely hard to work out what it is that we are actually projecting.
14
We are far too much inside ourselves to see our own biases.
15
We can't tell how we're distorting our assessments of other people.
16
There's no gap between our judgements and our reason.
17
Yet we stand to make a little bit of progress through a simple exercise
18
which involves a a little bit of reflection on our most characteristic assumptions of other people, taken as a whole.
19
In a quiet, reflexive mood, we should title a blank sheet of paper, What I Expect Other People Will Be Like.
20
And then we should see what comes up for us.
21
A list might look like this.
22
Older men in authority are judgmental and angry.
23
Or other people can suddenly turn around and viciously attack you, or people only respect money and status,
24
or nice people aren't very competent or worthy of respect, or people can't be relied upon to help when you need them,
25
or people might be laughing or silently ridiculing.
26
The list might, to an extent that surprises us, be extremely negative.
27
The next question should be, why are we thinking this way?
28
Why do we make these sorts of generalisations?
29
Common sense tells us, because this is what reality is actually like.
30
But a more psychotherapeutic line answers back, only because this is what our childhood was like,
31
and this is what has unconsciously influenced and, if you like, poisoned, our assessment of all strangers in the present.
32
In order to honour the true complexity as well as hopefulness of the world as it is now,
33
we should then ask what specific individuals from our past might be held responsible for inspiring our range of particular
34
and particularly dark assumptions about people.
35
To every generalisation, on our sheet of paper, we should, with a different coloured pen,
36
write down a particular name who might have inspired an especially caustic assessment of humanity.
37
If we've had a certain sort of childhood, we should in time be able to arrive at definite sets of names and memories.
38
Once we start to explore, we'll be able to see that a statement like, older men in authority are judgmental and angry,
39
really relates to a very particular man in a very particular situation.
40
While the unhelpful idea
41
that no one can be relied upon might be the sediment of an earlier situation in
42
which specific people didn't help us when we badly needed them to have done so.
43
There are few things harder to see than our own biases, but we can, with the help of exercises,
44
learn to free ourselves from some of their more vicious, though invisible, tentacles.
45
Other people can often be extremely difficult – of that there is no doubt.
46
But, to an extent that may well surprise us, it isn't really people in general who are the problem.
47
It's almost certainly people in particular who troubled us a long time ago
48
and who we've taken great care to forget all about.
49
We may develop a lot more faith in humanity once we can be more forensic
50
and sad about a few key figures in the past, once we learn to unpick our projections.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
