27. The 5 Stages of Projector Acceptance

Finding out your a Human Design Projector is a huge deal. It’s life-changing. It can be exciting, difficult, frustrating, or all of the above.
For many of us, finding out we’re a projector is a shock, but after we start thinking about it, we realize that we are projectors. However, the more we learn about what it is to be a Human Design Projector, the more questions we have.
And then we discover that our strategy is to wait for the invitation…and that can leave us feeling helpless and lost. Truly understanding and accepting that we’re projectors is a process.
Some of us learn we’re projectors, and that’s it. Acceptance is immediate, and we go on our way.
But for others, it’s difficult – a long, drawn-out journey that we sometimes try to change. If you’re in this last category, this episode is for you.
I’m talking about my experience going through the 5 stages of what I like to call Projector Acceptance. Because when I learned I was a projector, my life changed…but it wasn’t all rainbows and unicorns. In fact, I didn’t want to be a projector. (I know! Can you imagine me not wanting to be a projector?)
This episode is for the projectors in transition mode who are struggling to make the switch to accepting being a projector. I’ll outline each of the 5 stages* and give you a better understanding of where you are your projector journey.
*Side note: The 5 stages are by no means linear, meaning that you can go from Stage 1 to Stage 4 and then to Stage 3. It really depends on you, your life, and your personal journey.
