Shadows are unconscious distortions that undermine our experience. Example shadows include limiting beliefs, unhealthy patterns, suppressed emotions, small and big traumas.

When I realized my life was quietly being directed by unconscious patterns and concepts, I became obsessed with uncovering and healing my shadows.

This went on for a few years. I experienced a lot of growth but also realized that there is actually a shadow to shadow work.

I’m a bit older and maybe a smidge wiser now, and continue to learn about the vast nuances of working with the unconscious.
