What’s your definition of shadow work? How has it benefited you? Can you be unintentionally immersed in shadow work? Or start without knowing it ? What are some examples of shadow work and how can i use it to benefit me ?

I started journalling a couple months ago and I’ve gotten pretty deep into it. I guess I’m figuring myself out. I keep running into interactions with people who are helping me dive deeper into my psych. I think I may have started shadow working unintentionally. Let me know your thoughts!

god bless

In a Jungian sense shadow work is mainly bringing the unconcious parts of your psyche to the surface to stop/change their influence and ultimatively be integrated in a positive way for the process of individuation. (as far as i understand it, I wouldnt consider myself an expert in anything)

For example: When you encounter a person and theres something that annoys you about them but you cant really pinpoint what is annoying you, finding out what the trigger for this is, basically is shadow work. Obviously it can get deeper than this.

I think some people do that unintentionally, I certainly started doing that before i even knew about the concept.
