There’s a version of you that shows up in the world every day — the capable one, the kind one, the productive one.

And then there’s the version of you that gets triggered…
That spirals at night.
That overreacts, overthinks, over-gives, or shuts down.

That’s not a flaw.

That’s your shadow.

The concept of “shadow work” was originally introduced by Carl Jung, who described the shadow as the unconscious parts of ourselves that we repress, deny, or disown. These aren’t just our “dark” traits — they’re also our unmet needs, buried gifts, suppressed anger, hidden creativity, and unresolved pain.

And when we don’t consciously work with the shadow… it works through us.

What Shadow Work Actually Is (And What It’s Not)

Let’s clear something up.

Shadow work is not:

Sitting in shame.
Blaming your parents forever.
Digging up trauma without support.
Making yourself wrong.

Shadow work is:

Understanding your triggers.
Identifying repeating relational patterns.
Meeting the parts of you that developed in survival.
Reclaiming disowned power and authenticity.
Integrating — not erasing — the parts of you that learned to cope.

As a holistic and clinical therapist, I approach shadow work through:

Trauma-informed psychology
Nervous system regulation
Attachment science
Archetypal and symbolic integration
Embodiment practices

This is deep work — but it doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. It can be clarifying. Liberating. Even empowering.

Why 12 Weeks?

Because real integration takes time.

You can’t rush self-awareness.
You can’t intellectualize healing.
And you can’t bypass your nervous system.

Over 12 weeks, we move through three intentional phases:

1️⃣ Awareness

You begin noticing patterns:

Why do I react this way?
Why do I attract the same dynamics?
Why does this specific situation feel disproportionately intense?

We identify your shadow themes through guided reflection, nervous system mapping, and relational exploration.

2️⃣ Compassionate Confrontation

This is where most people stop on their own — but this is where the real transformation begins.

You’ll learn how to:

Sit with discomfort without collapsing or attacking yourself.
Recognize trauma responses vs. character flaws.
Separate your adult self from your younger protective parts.

This is integration work — not self-criticism.

3️⃣ Embodiment & Higher Self Alignment

Shadow work isn’t just about uncovering pain. It’s about reclaiming your agency.

You’ll practice:

Boundary setting
Embodied decision-making
Emotional regulation in real-time
Aligning behavior with your values (not your wounds)

This is where people feel different — not because they’ve “fixed” themselves, but because they’re no longer fragmented.

Who This Is For

This 12-week journey is for you if:

You’re self-aware… but still stuck in patterns.
You understand your trauma intellectually, but still feel hijacked emotionally.
You’re the “strong one” — and you’re tired.
You want depth, not surface-level self-help.
You’re ready to stop outsourcing your worth.

It’s not about becoming someone new.

It’s about becoming integrated.

What Makes This Different

There are a lot of shadow work journals online. A lot of aesthetic prompts.

This is not that.

This is structured, psychologically grounded, and carefully held. It bridges neuroscience, trauma work, attachment theory, and symbolic integration.

We go beyond awareness into nervous system safety and embodied change.

Because insight without regulation doesn’t last.

If something in you feels both curious and slightly nervous reading this…

That’s usually the door.

Growth rarely feels like certainty at first. It feels like resonance.

If you’re ready to meet yourself more honestly — and more compassionately — I would love to guide you through this work.

This 12-week shadow work journey is opening soon.

If you feel called, join us.

You don’t have to keep carrying the unconscious alone.
