Imagine a beautiful lake. That lake is you. The surface is as smooth as glass and at first glance there seems to be nothing wrong. The further you look under water, the more hidden pain and conflicts you discover. Even deeper under the surface are pent-up emotions, unresolved traumas and unspoken words.
This looking under water, at the shadowed depth within yourself, is shadow work. Mary Mueller Shutan takes you into the depths, to your dark sides and teaches you to embrace them. Because only when you fully accept yourself can you live fully. Throughout your life you deny or ignore parts of your authentic self, because you are told that those parts are not allowed to be there. They are wrong, ugly, excessive or unpopular. You park them in the shadows, as it were, and suppress them. Later in life, that shadow side hurts, triggers and reminds you of the traumas from your childhood. In this way you not only develop your own shadow side, but also collective shadows (for example online and relationship shadows).
Mary Mueller Shutan's Guide to Shadow Work is a comprehensive and practical guide filled with pointers, exercises, and ideas for self-exploration. You will learn to identify and reclaim the shadow, so that you can move forward with resilience and lightness.
