Shadow work is the often uncomfortable task of confronting the parts of ourselves and our past that we repress. The ability to sit with our truth can be confronting, but it’s a vital part of processing our trauma. It’s simply wound-cleaning for our spirit. Shadow work untethers us from past ideas that may have protected us back then, but causes conflicts in your life, now. It takes practice to get comfortable with yourself as a flawed being, however justified our anger may be. It tempers our reactions and helps keep us patient, instead of reactive. In its aftermath, we find healing and relief.
