Even thinking about it together is likely to be a positive.

Why is that? Scientists have "known" why for a long time, BUT turns out sometimes they were right and sometimes they were wrong.
If you want to catch up on the latest knowledge in this area, take a look at the linked video of a presentation by Robert Sapolsky, Stanford Professor, and a very smart entertaining guy.
Be sure you can set aside about an hour because it is that long and it's a great talk and you won't want to stop.
It's great food for thought and as is so common, there's some good news and and some challenging news.

Projection: Can you stop someone else from doing it to you?
Being the receiver of someone else's projection upsetting. In fact, it can be downright "crazy making."
The natural question is "How can I make them stop?"
