it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
Our personal shadow is the disowned self. It consists mainly of the negative aspects of our personality that we disowned. It is whatever we perceived as inferior, evil, or socially unacceptable.
Unfortunately, these disowned parts of our personality can’t go anywhere because they are still parts of the self. As a result, we learn to repress them. They become part of the unconscious mind.
So, all the repressed and unacceptable parts of our personalities are neatly bundled into what psychologist Carl Jung called the “personal shadow.”
Our shadow self, however, is always with us. It’s your dark sister or brother. Always standing right behind you. And left unchecked, your shadow will be controlling your every move.
In this episode, we will discuss:
- How the shadow came to be.
- Why your shadow can sabotage your best intentions.
- How to catch your shadow self at work.
- How to embrace and integrate your shadow self.
