Carl Jung’s concept of the shadow self refers to the parts of us we reject or hide—traits, desires, and emotions we don’t want to face.

But when we ignore these darker aspects, they don’t just disappear—they influence our behavior in ways we might not even recognize. Repressed anger might show up as passive-aggressiveness. Unacknowledged insecurities could fuel unhealthy competition or jealousy.

Today, we’re going to bring our shadows into the light.

Let’s begin unlocking greater emotional freedom, authenticity, and the ability to make conscious choices, rather than being driven by unconscious patterns. Ready to face what’s lurking in the dark?

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” - Carl Jung

My Unconscious Life is a Space dedicated to exploring the depths of the unconscious mind, where hidden aspects of our personalities reside.

We delve into concepts like the persona, the shadow, and other elements of the psyche that shape our inner and outer world.

Topics we'll cover include dream interpretation, Jungian psychology, and techniques for integrating the unconscious into daily life.

Through our discussions, we uncover how our outward masks and hidden traits affect our interactions and self-perception.
Whether you are new to exploring the psyche or have a deep interest in psychological self-discovery, My Unconscious Life offers a supportive space to connect with others on a journey of understanding and integrating the unconscious mind

Sample Prompts

• Which Jungian archetype do you resonate with the most (e.g., the Hero, the Shadow, the Anima/Animus)?
• Share a recent dream you had. What themes and feelings stood out to you?
• Identify a trait or behavior that you tend to suppress or hide. How does this shadow aspect of yourself manifest in your actions?

The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul, opening into that cosmic night which was psyche long before there was any ego-consciousness, and which will remain psyche no matter how far our ego-consciousness extends. - Carl Jung
