What Happens When You Suppress Your Shadow

Your shadow isn't bad. It's not something to fix or destroy. But when it's ignored, it doesn't stay quiet; it leaks. Into your relationships. Your reactions. The parts of yourself you keep hidden. In this teaching, I break down how suppressed vulnerability, neediness, shame, and even tenderness find their way out - usually sideways, usually at the worst moments. Once you can see where your shadow is leaking, you can stop being run by it. Part two of a short series on the shadow. Deeper work like this is what I teach inside The Grounded Man; more on my profile if you want to go further.
