333. Facing the Dark: Overcoming the Fears of Shadow Work (Shadow Work Series Part 4 of 22)

Shadow work can feel intimidating—what if the truth about yourself is too much to bear? In this episode, we’re breaking down the common fears surrounding shadow work and why the journey into the dark corners of your psyche is worth it. We’ll explore why avoiding your shadows only gives them more power, how confronting them can unlock your fullest potential, and why the discomfort of facing your fears is the catalyst for profound transformation. In this shadow work series, we’re diving deep into the parts of ourselves we often avoid—the hidden fears, patterns, and wounds shaping our lives from the shadows. Together, we’ll explore the four core wounds—trust, guilt, abandonment, and neglect—and uncover how they affect our relationships, self-worth, and inner peace. This isn’t about fixing or erasing these parts; it’s about understanding, embracing, and integrating them to step into your wholeness. So, grab a journal, an open mind, and maybe a cup of tea—because we’re about to get real, raw, and radically self-aware. Let’s play in the shadows. Join Shadow Work: https://alwaysplay.org/shadow-work
