Shadow Work is a psychological and spiritual concept that involves delving into the hidden and often unconscious aspects of one's personality, emotions, and beliefs. It entails the process of self-exploration to identify and confront suppressed or denied thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that have been relegated to the "shadow" – the psychological domain of the unconscious mind.

The term "Shadow Work" was popularized by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, who believed that the personal unconscious consists of both the conscious mind and the shadow. The shadow represents the parts of oneself that are deemed unacceptable, undesirable, or incompatible with the individual's self-image.

These suppressed aspects can encompass repressed emotions, unresolved conflicts, unacknowledged desires, and negative traits. By engaging in Shadow Work, individuals aim to gain self-awareness, healing, and personal growth. This involves acknowledging and integrating the shadow elements, which can lead to a more balanced and authentic sense of self. Shadow Work is often facilitated through various therapeutic techniques, introspective practices, and inner reflection.
