Your shadow isn't a flaw or a mistake — instead, it's a natural part of who you are. Shadow work is, at heart, about developing self-awareness and ultimately, self-acceptance and compassion. Your shadow side can have a negative impact on your well-being when you ignore or reject it. This part of yourself craves to be understood and explored. This is because it was ignored and possibly shamed throughout your life. We don't feel mentally and emotionally at our best when our shadow is not integrated into our self. Working with your unconscious mind to uncover the parts of yourself that you repress and hide from yourself. phenyx.fit Kate Hastings Wellness Coach @coachkate1
