Before I consider buying or investing in anything I read reviews. I prefer hearing from real people.

The parts you avoid are often the ones running the show.

When I was nine, we drew chalk outlines of our shadows in the playground. The teacher said the shape changes with the sun, and you only see it from certain angles. In some cases when there wasn’t enough light then it wouldn’t be seen but everyone had one.

This stayed with me no matter where I went in the light, I’d always have a shadow ad it would follow me.

Now I’m older (but unsure how much wiser) this lesson feels even truer at a psychological level. We all have a hidden side, things we don’t know about ourselves or have forgotten or things which on some level we feel but push down or away.

You might not know it, but you might feel it. In your relationships. In your reactions. In your career. In your body. Generally how you move through life, something a bit off or missing or not quite right. Sometimes, something might not feel off at all but if we asked a few curious questions we might discover whole sides of ourselves we never knew were there.

Maybe it shows up as:

These aren't random traits. They're patterns and they can be rooted in the sides of our selves we’ve ignored for a long time or don’t really want to see.

What is shadow work, really?
The “shadow” side to us refers to the parts of ourselves we’ve learned are unacceptable, unsafe, or unlovable or unnecessary. We might have ignored these sides to us for so long we don’t even know they are there.

Perhaps:

Shadow work is the process of making those parts visible not to shame or fix them, but to integrate them so they stop controlling your life from the background.

We’re all working & interacting with our shadow on a daily basis, you just might not realise it. It might look like:

If you find yourself playing a regular role in life, perhaps that’s a safety mechanism that prevents you trying out others roles in life - ones that weren’t ok to play.

It’s emotional work and it can improve your relationships, your confidence, your clarity, your leadership, your boundaries, your choices.

Ready to feel a bit freer?

I offer integrated coaching and therapy for people who are ready to stop avoiding what they know is getting in the way.

If you’re successful on paper but disconnected inside, or if you’re tired of repeating patterns you know aren’t serving you or if you just feel a bit numb, flat, stuck then this work may be for you.

There’s no perfect time to begin. But if you’ve read this far, then you could be curious about whether some sessions could help.

If you’re curious about how we might work together or whether my sessions could help you then you could book in for an intro call.

I offer complimentary 15-20 minute calls where we can explore your situation and how working together might help.

Or perhaps you might know someone who could benefit from reading this email or booking in for a call.
