How to Confront Your Shadow Apr 04, 2023

Show notes

In order to have true free will in your life, you must confront your shadow. The “Shadow” is a term coined by the Swiss psychologist, Carl G. Jung, and he describes it as a container of all the repressed and rejected parts of ourselves that were not adaptable in social life. We discuss the Individuation process, similar to what Maslow called, “Self-Actualization.” Confronting our shadow is the first step on this journey to becoming our true Self. We explore:

What is the Shadow?
How to avoid confusing Shadow aspects as something we already know such as our insecurities or negative beliefs or thoughts
How the shadow is portrayed in the popular TV Series, Ted Lasso
How to overcome the ego’s defenses in order to access shadow material
How to create with free will and not from past conditioning
