Shadow Work (Part 1)

This is about Shadow Work. I'll be releasing several of these 1-minute soundbites over the course of the next while. The “shadow” is a concept first coined by Carl Jung to describe aspects of the personality that we reject and repress into our unconscious psyches - a collection of impulses, desires and defensive. Failing to acknowledge them causes inner conflict and misalignment. My work (shadow work), revolves around helping others become conscious of the unconscious parts of themselves.

Transcript

Being truthful with ourselves about who we really are isn't easy.

It entails confronting the darker aspects of our personality,

Which may include positive qualities that have been rejected and repressed due to familial or societal pressure.

The trouble is,

Repressed qualities not only drive our behaviors behind the scene,

But they do so in unruly ways.

We end up in conflict operating from two separate psychological systems,

The conscious ego,

Which is everything we identify ourselves with,

And the unconscious shadow,

Which is everything we don't want to know about ourselves.

The only way to resolve that conflict is to become more conscious of the unconscious shadow and the parts of ourselves that we deny and repress.
