The parts of yourself you refuse to see are the ones running the show.

Sophia Jung Shadow Work Reflection

Carl Jung's shadow is the collection of traits, desires, and impulses you've rejected or repressed. They don't disappear — they operate unconsciously, sabotaging relationships and decisions. Shadow work is the practice of making the unconscious conscious. Writing is the safest method.
