Displacement might be the term you are looking for, not projecting the feelings onto someone or something else but, taking them out on some one or something else.
Example: You had a bad day at work and are angry with your boss, so you go home and yell, scream and/or lash out physically toward your family, a tree, etc...
Projection is blaming others for what you fell, or what happened to you.
Example: "It's all Joe's fault I didn't pass that test." even though Joe did nothing but sit next to you in class.
Another example would be suspecting your partner of cheating because you want to or have cheated on them. That's Freudian Projection.
And no I'm not a psychology professional, jsut been through enough therapy that I should have a degree by now. :biggrin:
