Someone who wants to keep therapy impersonal because it “reminds them of what they grew up with” is showing the therapist something crucial.

7/ or dares to fight back in any way, this is now seen as further proof of how hateful and evil they are—and why attacking them is just and right. This is what is called “projective identification.”

8/ The end result is that the person can deny their own sadism, cruelty, and hate—while simultaneously acting it out without restraint. And feel themselves to be 100% on the side of truth and right as they do it.

5/ in themselves. Instead, they project the badness onto some designated other. And this other person or group, via the defense of projection, is now seen as the repository of all that is bad and evil, that must be attacked and destroyed.

3/ They find a way to give free rein to their cruelty, to attack, to treat others cruelly and viciously.
*And they find allies to cheer them on* who also believe they are on the side of all that is true and good.

1/ One of most important things I've learned:
Severe personality problems find *camouflage.* No one thinks “I’m a sadist” or “I'm a malignant narcissist.”
