The shadow of shadow work

“The Shadow of Shadow Work:

If you think shadow work is about self improvement by way of making the negative and unsavory parts of yourself better or getting rid of them or replacing them with better more acceptable habits and patterns then you do not actually understand what shadow is.

Don’t fall into the trap!

Also remember: shadow does not simply mean the violent or ugly aspects of you. Shadow is whatever part of you you have disowned.

Your innocence could be in your shadow. Your love of life could be in your shadow. Your courage could be in your shadow.

Shadow is whatever you have disowned by choosing instead to identify with its polarity.

The continual judgement and desire to get rid of shadow is in fact actually the essence of what creates shadow.

Point being: much of what I hear of these days as shadow work is actually just the definition of what shadow is.”

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
