What is the shadow self? And how do we meet ours? In today's episode we explore what it means to get curious about the shadow parts of ourselves. We take a grounded look at shadow work - where the idea came from, the layers of our psyche, and how the repressed parts of ourselves show up.
We explore: • What Jung meant by the shadow and the persona • How the dark or disowned parts of ourselves can develop • Why anger, neediness, ambition, or confidence can feel uncomfortable to acknowledge • The role of projection, triggers and repeated patterns • How to approach shadow work cautiously and with curiosity
