Embracing Your Shadow Self

Di Sally Clough

Cosa imparerai

During this 5 day course we will delve into the world of our shadows. The repressed parts of ourselves that have been deemed unacceptable and are usually hidden beneath layers of shame and judgement. Each lesson will have a slightly different theme or angle to shadow work and I will provide you with journaling prompts for you to delve deeper into the parts of you that are in hiding. By the end of this course you will have a greater understanding of what the shadow is and will have taken a deeper look into your own shadow self. This course requires that you be brave, that you be willing to look at all of your parts, and that you do so with radical honesty, whilst holding yourself with kindness and compassion throughout.

Lezione 1

Introduction To Shadow Work

This first lesson will give an introduction to what shadow work is, what it is not, and will begin with setting intentions for the course. We will then explore some introductory journal prompts to begin delving into our shadows. A brief synopsis of tomorrow's lesson will be discussed so that you can begin some self-reflection ahead of tomorrow's lesson.

Lezione 2

Working With Our Inner Child

Today's lesson we will delve deeper into our shadows, which are primarily repressed in childhood. We will focus on our experiences as a child and how they may have shaped our behaviours, beliefs and therefore repression of certain aspects of ourselves. By the end of this session you will greater clarity around how the shadow is formed and aspects of self that have hidden themselves away.

Lezione 3

Exploring Our Projections

Today's lesson we will delve into our projections onto others. We will look at what projections are and why we have them. Then we will explore journal prompts to discover what our own personal projections are thus discovering parts of our shadow selves that are in hiding.

Lezione 4

Investigating Our Childhood

In today's lesson we will delve deeper into our childhoods. Most of our beliefs about ourselves and the world around us are formed during childhood. These are mainly unconsciously held beliefs and it isn't until further investigation that we can bring these unconsciously held beliefs into the light and examine the truth of them. Journal prompts today will focus on our childhood with the intention of bringing more of our shadows into the light.

Lezione 5

Radical Honesty

In our final lesson I will discuss radical honesty and what it means, to be radically honest with ourselves and with others. We can not have true connection with others if we are not being honest with ourselves. We have to practice being with ourselves in full transparency so that we can be with others authentically. Our final journal prompts will ask us to be radically honest in our reflections.
