The Power of Shadow Journaling

Sally Kohn: Shadow journaling is a major step in your emotional journey if you have never done this kind of work. She says to give yourself permission to write them down and feel those feelings fully. "You'll notice that when you feel these feelings fully you will anyway not want to act on them," she says. The desire to act actually doesn't come from the feelings themselves, it comes from tension between a part of you feeling those feelings and another part of you trying to suppress that feeling.
