Episode Overview
- The shadow self consists of repressed emotions and impulses.
- Repressing parts of ourselves can lead to inner conflict and imposter syndrome.
- Healing involves acknowledging and integrating these hidden aspects.
- Societal conditioning often teaches us to hide certain emotions or behaviours.
- True happiness comes from accepting all parts of oneself.
Our shadow side serves a purpose and they're beautiful parts of ourselves.
In this episode of 'Happiness Is An Inside Job', Lynda Emmett, a Life and Neuroscience Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Rapid Transformation Therapist, dives into the concept of the Shadow Self. Ever wondered why you sometimes feel like you're not being your true self? Lynda explains how our shadow side—those parts of ourselves we often try to hide—can create inner turmoil and stop us from being authentic.
Drawing from Carl Jung's theories, she describes the shadow as everything we can't see about ourselves but is still there, influencing our behaviours and emotions. Using relatable anecdotes and a touch of humour (think Star Wars' Darth Vader versus the Jedi), Lynda makes the complex topic accessible and engaging. She emphasises that these shadow parts, while often viewed negatively, are actually beautiful parts of ourselves that need healing and acceptance.
By shining a light on these hidden aspects, we can integrate them into our lives and become more whole and authentic. If you've ever felt like you're living a double life or struggling with imposter syndrome, this episode offers valuable insights into why that might be and how to start feeling more like your true self. So, are you ready to turn on the light and look at your shadow?
Tune in to find out how embracing all parts of yourself can lead to greater happiness and authenticity.
