Learning Hubs: Shadow self

Service Description

The "shadow self" is a concept in psychology, popularized by Carl Jung, referring to the unconscious part of our personality that contains the aspects we deny, suppress, or ignore. These might be traits, emotions, or desires we deem negative, unacceptable, or contrary to our self-image. However, ignoring the shadow self can lead to inner conflict, emotional distress, or self-sabotage. Embracing the shadow self involves recognizing and accepting these hidden aspects of ourselves. By doing so, we achieve personal growth, self-awareness, and emotional balance. This process allows us to integrate all parts of our personality, fostering a more authentic and whole sense of self. The benefits of a workshop on the shadow self include: Increased Self-Awareness: Participants will learn to identify and confront the hidden parts of their personality, leading to a deeper understanding of themselves. Personal Growth: By integrating the shadow self, individuals can unlock personal potential, reduce self-sabotage, and achieve greater emotional balance. Improved Relationships: Understanding the shadow self helps reduce projection of suppressed feelings onto others, leading to healthier, more authentic relationships. Emotional Healing: Confronting repressed emotions can bring about healing, helping participants release shame, guilt, or fear associated with hidden aspects of their identity.
