Shadow Work's Broad Applicability
- Shadow work helps both high performers experiencing burnout and underachievers.
- This is because the shadow represents suppressed aspects of oneself, affecting motivation and fulfillment.
Ego, Persona, and the Shadow
- Our conscious mind perceives our identity (ego), but we project a persona to the outer world.
- The persona filters which attributes we show, creating a gap between our inner and outer selves.
Shadow Formation
- Our shadow develops as we suppress impulses that society deems unacceptable.
- These suppressed impulses don't disappear but get stored in our unconscious, influencing behavior.
