Shadow Work

If you want to heal your current relationship or find a more stable and fulfilling one you're going to need to do some shadow work.

We can't see in others what doesn't exist within ourselves—good or bad.

One of our biggest tasks in life is identifying and releasing the toxic issues that have been standing in our way.

Finding the courage to ask yourself those hard questions and seeing what comes up is what will lead you to the life you've always imagined having.

everything you've been looking for is way down in the deepest, darkest part of yourself

Typically, your shadow will sabotage you by taking the form of doubt, fear, distraction, or procrastination any time you try to take a step up in life. Our shadow also keeps us stuck in unhealthy relationships and dead-end jobs, addictions, and a long list of negative behaviors.

But when we're in the middle of a crisis, whatever it is, it's hard to think clearly. So, when a decision needs to be made but your mind isn't where you want it to be you can often end up making one of the worst decisions of your life. This is usually because the shadow-self has taken over and made the decision for you.

Your shadow isn't trying to torture you though. Instead, it's bringing people and events into your life that are a mirror of what you're denying and ignoring. It wants you to work through these issues so that both your light and dark parts can live in harmony.

the shadow is instinctive and irrational

the shadow is either an unconscious feature of the personality that the conscious ego doesn't identify in itself or the whole of the unconscious. It's everything we're not fully aware of; the unknown, dark side of ourselves.
