This illustrated guide to shadow work features simple exercises and prompts to help you face hidden fears and live a more fulfilling life. Shadow work involves delving into your subconscious to meet and heal your 'shadow self' - the 'darker side' of your personality. This often includes aspects of yourself that you have repressed out of fear and shame because they do not conform to the environment around you. However, the memories we repress do not simply go away. Our emotional reactions and behavior in the present day are often influenced by past experiences. For example, if you are often quick to become frustrated, angry or defensive, then this may be a sign that you need to address your shadow side.
