Readers who have a little common sense of psychology must have heard of psychoanalysis, all heard of exploring the subconscious, and all heard of psychological concepts such as the inner child.
In the field of psychoanalysis, it is believed that all our psychological problems come from the depths of our hearts, and they are all traces left by our past lives, and many of these traces are negative and bring us harm, and if they are not dealt with effectively, they will inevitably have an impact on our present, which is also an important reason why many people have mental problems.
Carl Jung, one of the important figures of the psychoanalytic school, created the shadow theory with his own research. Jung believed that including our repressed thoughts, feelings, and impulses, when they are rejected and tried to hide by our conscious consciousness, will create shadows in our hearts, but often they are extremely strong and can create conflicts within us, so these shadows also need to be dealt with urgently.
Based on this idea, Jung also proposed specific methods and techniques for working with these shadows, so that we can dredge out the shadows in our hearts, so that we can truly explore the subconscious, accept this part of our life, and make our whole personality complete. And this is how we learn self-acceptance, self-tolerance, and unconditional love for ourselves.
In fact, this has also formed a set of methodologies in psychology, which can go straight to the depths of our hearts through a series of tools, guide our subconscious, dig out the shadow parts in our hearts, and then learn to live peacefully with it, learn to accept, learn to let go, then we can have a more brilliant and beautiful future.
Kayla Saheen, a cognitive-behavioral therapist who has studied cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, yogic energy psychology and creative thinking for many years, is passionate about exploring methods of inner healing and mind restructuring.
In this journal, the author first reviews the knowledge of shadow theory, so that we can establish a sense that shadow work will inevitably bring about changes in our lives.
Of course, the most important part of this book is the specific content of shadow work, and this book provides us with a lot of effective exercises, which can allow us to release the suppressed and hidden information in our hearts through fill-in-the-blank exercises, reflection questions, gratitude lists, free associations, etc., and then through these materials, explore the roots of these shadows, to discover the dark parts of the heart, and reshape the whole self.
Shadow work can change our psychological conditions, it can improve our relationships, it can heal childhood trauma, it can set personal boundaries, it can accept self and empathize with others, it can solve memory conflicts, it can have a clearer understanding of humanity and the world. To put it simply, it allows us to build an all-round self and find our way to live in harmony with the world.
