Shadow Work

Meeting the parts of yourself you were told to hide.

“The shadow” comes from psychologist Carl Jung: the parts of ourselves we deny, bury or never got to explore. Shadow work is noticing those parts with honesty and compassion instead of shame.

Shadow Work

The basics

Start here

  • Journaling prompts: simple questions that help surface what’s under the surface.
  • Triggers as teachers: strong reactions often point to something worth looking at.
  • Inner child work: giving your younger self what they needed back then.
  • Go gently: for heavy or traumatic material, a licensed therapist is the best partner.
