Let’s be honest, shall we? The likelihood that you have some beliefs that are holding you back in some way is relatively high.

Shadow work helps you bring to light the beliefs and stories that are holding you back. Your shadow parts are the parts of you that you work hard NOT to be. These are the parts you don’t want anybody to see. You know, the parts that make you want to hide under a rock when they slip past your mission impossible style vigilance. It’s so exhausting.

Yet, I think we need to discuss the elephant in the room.

As you are skimming this right now, you are probably thinking “This does not sound fun.” In fact, you can probably feel your finger reaching for the the exit button right about now.

But wait.

While I totally get that a journey into the depths of your unconscious to reveal the parts of yourself you judge the most- does not sound like a party you care to attend- I’m proposing a question.

What if the thing you fear the most is the thing that will set you free?

I felt that just now as I was typing it! Did You? Sparks!

Ok yes, you are likely to come in contact with some shadow part that is rooted in ‘not good enough’ or ‘not worthy enough’. And this can feel a little unsettling at first. I may be a little psychic but this is not a premonition.

Most all shadow parts are working to protect us from these beliefs.

But here is what I want to let you know, while you are exploring these darker parts of yourself, I will be helping you to fall in love with them.

And we will end our journey together with you gloriously standing in your light. And it will begin to feel so authentic. Because it can only be authentic when we embrace all the parts of ourselves.

So what do you say, wanna join me?

Still a little unsure?

Of course, if you have significant trauma, PTSD or prone to panic attacks when easily flooded by emotions, you should hold off and do this with a therapist when/if the time is right.

For the rest of us, I get it. You’ve been striving to stay in your comfort zone. I challenge you to step deeper into yourself, so you can finally learn to love and accept all parts of you. It’s a game changer.

I know, it may seem easier to continue sticking your head in the sand and keep disowning these parts of you. But, this is a mistake. Actually, this is a BIG MISTAKE! Think Julia Roberts dropping a Grand on Rodeo Drive… kind of mistake.

As long as you try to ignore and hide these negative parts, you can never fully accept your good parts. Because somewhere deep down the opposite of your good parts exists. So you feel like a fraud… insert imposter syndrome!
