Be happy with your struggle. It’s your growth. Your way to wisdom.

I dont think people actually understand what the "shadow" in shadow work actually is. It comes from the psychological definition of your shadow which is essentially all your repressed qualities. For example, if you were punished for expressing your anger, then that anger would potentially become a part of your shadow because it becomes suppressed and ignored. Your shadow can also include elements of trauma you've endured which is why it can be very physically and emotionally tiring to do shadow work.

Your shadow isnt going to overtake you like some demon and youre not going to "go crazy" if you frequently work with your shadow.

Shadow work at its core is therapy. It is identifying and re-unifying with the parts of yourself that you may have repressed. Equally, it is working through your trauma so that you may be more at peace, mentally, physically, and spiritually.
