Most people think shadow work is about uncovering the dark parts of ourselves and making peace with them — but for practitioners, it’s much more than that. True shadow integration is how we build the endurance to keep showing up, even when the world mirrors its own shadow back to us.

In this episode, Tam explores how the shadow takes shape, why integration is essential for resilience, and how avoiding the darker layers of the human experience can weaken a healer’s foundation. This isn’t about chasing light or suppressing darkness — it’s about learning to hold both without losing yourself in either.

If you’re ready to strengthen your own resilience and develop the adaptability every practitioner needs, mentoring is where we do that work together. Get started with Weekly or Fortnightly Mentoring Plan.
