“The healing journey may start off with changing our thoughts to being more positive, affirming our greatness, and more self care, but to fully love and accept oneself requires meeting and healing our shadow.”
Psychologist Carl Jung first described the shadow as the unconscious and disowned parts of our personalities that EGO fails to see, acknowledge, and accept. Subconsciously, we walk through life projecting our wounds onto our relationships and situations that we experience, seeing them only through the lens of these hidden parts of ourselves that we don’t even know exists. Have a habit, behavior, or pattern you just can’t shake? It may be because you’ve got an old story planning in your shadow, constantly guiding you to recreate past trauma that you’ve experienced.
In today's episode, my friend Lauren Shields shares her wisdom and practices to helping you meet your shadow. If you feel called to dive deeper into this work, you can sing up for Lauren's virtual course here:
