I really enjoyed this conversation with Amar Numanovic concentrating on themes and ideas related to the book “Own Your Own Shadow” by Robert A. Johnson. We discuss how uncomfortable it is to face the unpleasant qualities of ourselves that we typically relegate to the shadow but how unbelievably important it is to look those qualities in the eyes and to redeem them. If not, we allow the shadow to control our lives without our conscious realizing of why we keep repeating the same things again and again. We also risk the spontaneous eruption of our shadow attributes, which is destructive and poisonous with no balance of the constructive. In contrast, we discuss doing the conscious work of dealing with the shadow so that it doesn’t become someone else’s problem and instead becomes a creative, restorative, and productive integration of our light and our shadow, where we consciously link the destructive and the constructive. The book and this conversation gave me such a better and more practical understanding of shadow work. I hope you will check it out and please also check out Amar’s Spotify and Substack, you can also find him on Instagram where he shares great content that always sparks in me the desire to do the work @amarnumann.
