“Every pain, addiction, anguish, longing, depression, anger or fear is an orphaned part of us seeking joy, some disowned shadow wanting to return to the light and home of ourselves.”
― Jacob Nordby
Shadow Work: It’s Time to Shine a Light on Your Shadow Side
As a therapist and personal growth expert, I know that shadow work helps us make contact with the entirety of who we are. Let’s face it: There are parts of ourselves that we are proud of and there are parts we would rather never see the light of day. Sometimes, we are not even aware of these dark parts of ourselves.
To create genuine change in your life, you have to face these hidden aspects from your shadow self.
In this episode of the podcast, I discuss how shadow work leads to self-awareness and, ultimately, self-acceptance. Through several examples, I share valuable tips and walk you through uncovering your shadow self. (Be sure to download the workbook I created for you so that you can do even more shadow work exercises on your own.)
If you find yourself wondering why you do things you shouldn’t and how to change behaviors you don’t like, this episode is for you!
Shadow Self Work
In this episode I’ll be discussing how you can:
- Discover how your shadow self can control you without you knowing.
- Learn tips for how to get in touch with your shadow self.
- Understand how shadow work can help you and your relationships with people.

Shadow Work: Making Contact With Your Subconscious Mind
The human mind is so powerful and complex that it’s impossible to be fully aware of everything. Most of the time, we are only aware of what is in front of us. A lot is going on in the background, which determines our behaviors or reactions.
Your shadow side lives in the part of you that you’re not fully conscious of. Your shadow self consists of you with goals, needs, or a voice that you sometimes don’t consciously know of or hear. If you’re not aware of it, it can drive you to make unhealthy or unhelpful decisions. Your shadow self only has control when it remains unknown.
Listen to this episode to get new insights into yourself and how shadow work therapy can help you get in touch with the deepest parts of your being. Through this powerful self-awareness work, you can become truly empowered.
