During childhood, we usually learn to reject parts of ourselves that are "bad" and are taught what is "acceptable." As adults, we are plagued by addictions, consumed with anger, guilt, fear, and frustration, and significantly impacted by trauma. We struggle to set healthy boundaries, communicate effectively in our relationships, and lack confidence and self-compassion. Embracing the Shadows explores shadow work from a psychological standpoint and helps you connect it to spirituality, ultimately leading to an empowering healing journey to understand more about the parts of your psyche you've compartmentalized and rejected.
This workbook provides you with educational resources for understanding shadow work and your healing journey, and provides you with over one hundred writing prompts to help you get started with your growth and transformation.
The prompts help you examine your childhood experiences with safety, money, security, communications, hobbies and relationships. Throughout the workbook, you'll navigate your teenage years, early adulthood and witness patterns unfold in your current actions, reactions and responses.
