The Shadow Self is the part of us we want to hide from the world... we must confront... being more authentic, truthful and accepting of this shadow part of ourselves, which can be hard to do, because we maybe spent a lifetime trying to run away from it or push it down.
Ever wondered about the parts of yourself you keep hidden? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The Vegas Therapist', Ryan Wynder dives into Carl Jung's theory of the Shadow Self. The Shadow Self represents the aspects of ourselves we often want to keep in the dark, whether it's past traumas, feelings of inadequacy, or behaviors we're not proud of. But, as Jung suggested, 'there could be no light without shadow'.
Ryan explores how acknowledging and integrating these hidden parts can lead to profound healing and personal growth. Inspired by Jonah Hill's Netflix documentary with his therapist Stutz, Ryan shares his own journey of confronting his Shadow Self. He gets candid about his vulnerabilities and walks listeners through a powerful exercise designed to help you face your own shadows.
The steps are simple but impactful: identify a part of yourself that feels inferior or hurt, and then think of a former version of you. Ryan also brings in a guest who shares their experience with shadow work, highlighting the transformative power of this practice. By embracing our darker sides, we can become more authentic and connected to ourselves and others.
This episode is perfect for anyone looking to understand themselves better and embark on a path of self-acceptance and healing. Don't miss out on this enlightening conversation that promises to shed light on the parts of you that you might have kept hidden for too long.
