Also, the 'inner child' usage feels a little repetitive and unclear. Maybe a better general explanation of shadow work would help. Like, identify and name it so we're externalizing the shadow and then are we reintegrating it? How about actual genetic influences on anger and potential interventions using behavioral therapy or psychopharmacology? It just sounds a lot like everything looking like a nail if you have a hammer. I'm in favor of the tool box approach.
❤😂❤ WOW 😲 WOW 💓 Absolutely TIMELY & PROPHETIC in nature!!! Often, I wld call my SELF, "SHADOW"!!! "DARKNESS"....love that song, ' The Sound of SILENCE'.... SOLITUDE!!! 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊 Yes 🥰 AMEN!!! I live IN and love DARKness love my "SHADOW"!!
If I were to go into detail about how I have integrated mine, it would be socially unacceptable to most people, hence I don’t talk about it except along close friends and my intimate partner. What I would call “shadow integration” is welcoming the darkest and most embarrassing desire in myself, and I mean _really_ exploring like an architect asking his wealthy client what kind of house the client wants to build. Like, I was asking in a spirit of, “I want to give this to you and I don’t care how bizarre or weird it is.” Finally, I got honest and wrote down exactly what I was wanting, along with how I wanted to feel if I had the desire fulfilled. That last part was the real key. Because no, I wasn’t going to act on the desire in its current, unrefined form. To truly qualify as being in the shadow, these things are likely socially unacceptable if not downright illegal. So, by finding the emotional state I wanted to feel, other parts of me started thinking, started exploring, started imagining socially ACCEPTABLE ways to reach that same emotional state. THAT is the “integration,” when you reach a kind of truce between what you found in the darkness and what you know can be beneficial and honoring of others. Then you can start testing it out and forming genuine relationships where your desires can be met by someone who is willing to assist you. It’s like tempering a sword, or refining gold. Ultimately, I’d say that shadow integration is taking your socially damaging desires and refining them into a healthy fulfillment through mutually beneficial arrangements with others.
Just hopped in comments @ 28 mins to see if it is just my shadow or if the ‘mouth sounds’ are objectively annoying ✅ I’m continuing to watch tho as it seems valuable 👍🏼
I think of this material as 100% useful, but I cant help but to laugh at the Freudian slip at 18:29 “quack-tice” instead of practice 😂😂
This lecture and it’s exercises are very valuable. Listening for the 2nd time!
Thanks for the high quality talk. This channel is awesome. Really appreciate the great work you guys do ❤️
Благодарю!💛

There may be a shadow but NOBODY knows how to "integrate" it.
All "shadow work" is feeble and empty.
