The shadow has become a familiar concept now in psychology and analysis, having been popularised by the work of C. G. Jung. Throughout our lives, we repress and deny the parts of our authentic selves that our families, peers and the world told us were wrong, unlovable or “too much”, and from this repression our shadow is born. By the time we reach adulthood, much of our authentic self is shadow. It’s like a large sack that’s slung over our shoulder, full of stuff that is slowing us down, and which needs to be examined and discarded. This then is a comprehensive guide to identifying and reclaiming your shadow, full of stories and case studies. The author explains how to find compassion for your dark side, reconnect with the repressed and abandoned parts of yourself, and reclaim the resiliency and joy of your authentic, whole self. We do have much to learn from that shadow too.
