Shadow Work
The parts you'd rather not look at, and why they keep showing up.
Carl Jung named it. The shadow, in his work, is everything you learned not to show. The anger you were taught to swallow, the envy you won't admit even quietly, the part of you that judges hardest in the people who most resemble you.
Online, shadow work drifted into candles, rituals and large promises. Here it stays what it was in Jung, an idea out of depth psychology, and it goes to the one place you can check it for yourself, which is what you write.
The module covers what shadow work is and where the term comes from. How to begin if you never have. Which shadow work prompts do real work, and why some of the ones circulating leave you worse off. What projection is, and how to catch it when someone irritates you for no clear reason. How Jung's shadow self relates to the self-sabotage you've already watched yourself walk into. If you're new, the beginners lesson is the door.
Two things before you start. This is not therapy and it does not replace anyone with clinical training. And if writing turns up something that floods you, stop, close the notebook, and get someone alongside you. Writing is for seeing yourself, not for going through alone what needs another person in the room.
This module is still blank.
I'm writing it one lesson at a time, and I'd rather publish late than publish filler. The glossary already has terms that carry across this module, so start there.
