Shadow (Jung)
Shadow (Jung)
The Shadow is the hidden, darker side of yourself that you deny or don't want to acknowledge. It contains the parts of you that feel 'not like me.'
Details
The Shadow is a concept from Jung's analytical psychology referring to the aspects of ourselves that we are unaware of or actively reject.
Things like anger, jealousy, and selfishness — parts that feel 'unlike me' — belong to the Shadow. But the Shadow also hides positive energy, such as creativity and vitality.
Recognizing and integrating your Shadow is a crucial part of what Jung called the 'individuation' process. — Mindy encourages you to try accepting your darker side as a genuine part of who you are.
