A SHORT INTRODUCTION TO SHADOW WORK

A concept designed by Carl Jung. He described it as the ‘shadow self’ - the parts of ourselves we choose to keep hidden to feel safe or accepted in society and/or in relationships.
It’s not entirely Humanistically purest so fellow peers of the Humanistic Psychotherapy world don’t come for me! It’s good to be open to new ideas and concepts so here is one for you…..

If you’re after a deep introspective level of healing from whatever it is you have going on in your life or perhaps what has happened to you thus far - this can help.
It focuses on the parts of yourself we sometimes choose to keep hidden. Our fears, old wounds, emotions we’re uncomfortable displaying such as jealously, anger, sadness, past behaviours that no longer serve us, things that are a continuous trigger for you, memories that get replayed or a comment that stuck with you (perhaps in childhood). These are just some examples.

Ask yourself ‘Am I ready to meet myself with honesty, openness and compassion?

If the answer is yes then it’s for you…..if the answer is ‘I’m not sure’ or ‘hell no’ (that’s information right there) then come back here when you’re ready 🙏☺️

PM me to explore this type of approach in therapy further.

I work with a lot of people who have experienced past traumas, emotionally and physically. The body stores this trauma and often after time people think they have moved on from the ‘event’ or ‘trigger’ but often this leads to delayed processing (or dissociation - the psyches way of coping) and they later manifest psychosomatically. People develop panic attacks, tics, musclear Skelto problems, gut issues, headaches, flashbacks to name a few.

I’ve attached a diagram which outlines how we (our bodies) deal with stress and trauma.

Do any of these resonate with you? awareness is information so exploring what your response is helps us work through it 💪

I’ve met Joe Marler in person and what a throughly lovely guy! An absolute mountain! He shares his struggles with mental health regularly. The more they are spoken about the more stigma is broken. Top bloke! 👏 👏
