Hi Racer,
My T would say that you're projecting because you aren't worried about what the DX might be, you're worried about what the pdoc's reaction to it will be. Same thing I do when I am afraid of being rejected- I'm not afraid of what I will say I'm afraid of how they will react to what I say. This is why even if I know the answer in class I still put up my shield of invisibility so the instructor doesn't dare call on me.
Of course knowing that I am projecting never stops me from doing it. Even though the movie is over and everyone has left the theatre, Poet's mental projector has a reel of film flapping 'round and 'round. Sorry that your mental projector is stuck in overdrive, too.
