confronting the shadow self

The Story

What do people actually mean by shadow work?

Not the mystical version. The actual version.

I talk about the belief I carried for years that I needed to be remarkable to be worth noticing. Where it came from. How it showed up everywhere. And the shadow version of it, telling myself I was just perfectly mid at everything so I'd never have to risk finding out.

This episode's Uncomfortably Honest is probably the most uncomfortable yet.
