- Certain traits in other people set me off way out of proportion

Practices that may help
- Shadow Work
Shadow work is the process of becoming aware of — and integrating — the parts of yourself you have disowned, suppressed, or never examined: the traits, impulses, and capabilities you hide from others and from yourself. Rooted in Jungian psychology, it is a clinically used framework rather than a rigorously trialed intervention; the mechanistic rationale is strong and aligns with modern emotion regulation and self-concept research. - The relationship as a shadow mirror
Use your closest relationships as a diagnostic — what you project onto those closest to you is often what you least see in yourself.
Shadow Work - The emotional charge inventory
List the traits that trigger your strongest reactions in others — those reactions are mirrors.
Shadow Work - Examining the gap between persona and self
Map who you perform for others versus who you experience yourself as in private — the gap is shadow territory.
Shadow Work - Tracking shadow material through the body
Notice where in the body suppressed reactions live — tension, constriction, or deadness are somatic shadow clues.
Shadow Work - The integration letter to a disowned part
Write directly to the trait, impulse, or capacity you most want to disown — then listen for its response.
Shadow Work - Working with shadow material in dreams
Treat recurring dream figures or disturbing images as shadow characters and ask what they represent.
Shadow Work - The accusation audit
Pre-empt their worst objections by saying them out loud before they can.
Tactical Empathy - Write the observer’s account of the event
Write a third-person account of what an average observer actually saw — not what you felt.
The Spotlight Effect: Why You Think Everyone Is Watching - Shift attention outward during social situations
Direct your focus to what the other person is saying and feeling, not to how you appear.
