"I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become."
- Carl Jung
Shadow Work
The shadow is a term used by Carl Jung, the famed founder of analytical psychology, to describe the aspects of ourselves that have been disowned or dismissed and yet continue to "drive the bus" from our illusive unconscious mind. From the moment we are born, our Whole Selves begin to be shaped by our families, society, cultural expectations, traumatic experiences, and so on. We are convinced or influenced to believe that meaningful pieces of ourselves are not welcome and, that when unmasked and integrated, allow us to become more balanced and aligned with our true selves. By meeting the shadow and doing the work to accept and integrate these repressed, suppressed, or oppressed parts of ourselves, the following benefits can be experienced:
​
​
​Increased self awareness
Increased compassion for yourself and others
Reduced reactivity to triggers
Recognition and resolution of old, unhelpful or harmful patterns
Increased patience and empathy
Increased creativity and self-empowerment
Improved mental clarity and decision making
Improved mental health relating to anxiety and depression
​
Whether you are familiar with or new to the concept of shadow work, your curiosity and self exploration are welcome and invited here!
