How can I deal with a partner when they're projecting a bad mood onto me?

We all projectively identify everyday. When you come in, in a lousy mood, and you make your partner have a lousy mood thats projective identification. You've come in like a bear and they've reacted to it and now their in a bad mood. If your on the otherside of that equation, and your partner comes in in a lousy mood. The first thing that you do is disengage, you remove yourself from the situation; you understand that they're not really upset with you, or they're not really thinking about you, and you bring yourself to a neutral corner and there you do that thing that makes you happy; whether its thinking about something or playing a game or whatever it is you do to bring your mood back up and then you go back to them and re-engage and elevate their mood. The third step is elevation, which you can achieve by projectively identifying a good mood right back into them.
