anthropodie, very interesting connection. I have always been superficially interested in Jung but on a brief search, I haven't found exactly the literal connection between what I wrote and the description of individuation.

If you have a bit, could you point me to something that discusses individuation from this angle (versus more general things I quickly found?)

What you are doing is not individuation per se but is one component of it. By identifying immature psychic traits in yourself and how you react to others you are withdrawing your own projections.

That is one way of trying to know your own shadow self. Knowing and integrating shadow is first step to individuation.

Man and his symbols is good introduction to Carl Jung's theories if you would like to know more.
