thank you! how would I start shadow work? I don’t really know what to do or how to find that stuff out. thank you!
A good video to watch is the Witch of Wonderlust’s Intro to Shadow Work
Shadow work actually began with Psychologist Carl Jung, (a personal favorite of mine) who is also know for laying the framework for personality and archetype theory.
It is basically looking at the parts of yourself you don’t like to acknowledge, or are afriad to. It can help you with things like anxiety, unhealthy actions; like letting people use you too much or being unable to let people get close to you. And is a great tool for personal awakening.
Below are some links that can be helpful to read, along with watching the video linked above.
For a pretty clear break down of “the Shadow Self” you can look here
For a webpage with a decent break down and more practical tips and excercises you can go here
And one more that explains it pretty well is here (the end of this one goes more into a masculine side of things due to the website it's on.)
Hope this helps! 🌈💜
P.s edit: I have used this myself to help with anxiety and unhealthy behaviours, it can be suuuuuper helpful.
