I’ve read on here quite a few of you talking about Shadow Work. The first thing I heard of it was on here. I Googled it and I read that it’s working on the parts of your behaviour/personality that might be regarded as shameful, for example: guilt, jealousy, irritation. Do I have the right idea?

How exactly do you do your Shadow Work? I read about journaling, but in what sort of form does this journaling take?

How does Shadow Work make you feel? I read some therapists don’t agree with it because it can make people feel worse I guess?

I read it’s a good idea to do self care immediately following. Do people do this? What are your thoughts?

I haven’t done Shadow Work but often I do go through in my head the things I do that are unhelpful - I don’t always have a solution though so it can feel a bit unfocused and tends to be done when the thoughts pop into my head rather than any structured routine.
