Ep. 18 What is Shadow Work?

Eden Thaler

In this episode we're diving into the second pillar of the integration framework I outlined in the episode My Integration Process 101 - shadow. We'll cover:

  • What shadows are
  • How shadows work with the Inner Critic to keep us stuck in feedback loops/trapped subconsciously recreating the same obstacles
  • How the Inner Critic leverages our shadows over us to control us
  • What it feels like when you confront a shadow or touch on a wound for the first time
  • Why dispelling shame is the key to unlocking integration and healing
  • What it looks like when we're controlled by shadows
  • An example of a deep shadow and wound I recently uncovered in my own life
  • How to create self-acceptance by transforming our relationship to our shadows
