Integrating the shadow means seeing plainly all the ways that we fail, and all the ways that we continue to make the same mistakes over and over again; it means seeing our failings right up close. How many of us want to admit our worst qualities, our weaknesses, our most shameful deeds, our most painful failings? The shadow can be present in our drives for power or living through the inner voices of our mothers or fathers. We might express the shadow through our sexuality, our religiosity or through our financial dealings. We might express it through the way we fail others. Shadow work means wrestling with past regrets and difficult inner realities. Our shadow is the moral dilemmas we are living with, in slow motion.
