If the shoe fits...

you've got no such pattern, but...

Psychological projection is a defence mechanism in which the human ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.[1] For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It incorporates blame shifting.

Projection of hope: Also, in a more positive light, a patient may sometimes project his or her feelings of hope onto the therapist.

Jung wrote, "All projections provoke counter-projection when the object is unconscious of the quality projected upon it by the subject."[27] Thus, what is unconscious in the recipient will be projected back onto the projector, precipitating a form of mutual acting out.[28]
