What is Shadow Work®

Shadow Work® is a spiritual technology providing the path to transform parts of our character with compassion and understanding. Explore and evolve any behavior with facilitated processes to embrace your light and bring your gifts forward.

 Shadow Work® supports individuals to explore and change almost any behavior pattern. Shadow Work® is especially devoted to providing a setting that allows people to explore and evolve themselves safely, without pressure from the facilitator.

History of Shadow Work® Jung

Shadow Work® is a therapeutic practice developed in the late 1980s by Cliff Barry, based on the theories of Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung. Jung believed that the unconscious mind had an impact on our lives, and Shadow Work® is a process of self-exploration and healing that helps us to become aware of, and heal, the parts of ourselves that we might be repressing or denying.

Shadow Work® helps us to become aware of our disowned power aka shadow, which Jung believed consists of those aspects of our personality that we may have abandoned in childhood [did you ever promise yourself you would never be like_____?]. This system of mind body connection helps us to understand and accept these disowned parts of ourselves. PLUS offers processes to transform the blindspot into an asset as we integrate the lost power into our lives in a healthy way.

Shadow Work® therapy can help with a wide range of issues, from self-esteem and relationship issues to physical and mental health problems. It can help us to recognize and work through our negative patterns and behaviors, to build better relationships with ourselves and others, to develop a greater sense of self-acceptance and self-love, and to become more fully integrated and balanced individuals.

Shadow Work® is the process of understanding and embracing our "shadow" selves - the parts of ourselves that we don't want to accept or acknowledge. It can involve exploring our subconscious mind and understanding our deep-rooted beliefs and patterns.

Shadow Work® can be a powerful tool for personal transformation and growth, allowing us to become more accepting of ourselves and others, and find greater peace and contentment in our lives. This model draws on archetypal energies to help you to learn more about yourself and to identify and address the issues that are preventing you from accessing your fullest potential.

Shadow Work® therapy is a form of self-exploration that involves examining and facing the seemingly darker aspects of our psyche, including our fears, insecurities, and repressed emotions. It is a journey of self-discovery and healing that can lead to a better understanding of ourselves, our relationships, and our lives. While the concept of shadow and dark or hidden aspects could sound scary, it is quite the opposite! Doing Shadow Work® is really uncovering the buried treasure of YOU!
