For me living in the cutting edge of the present moment where I reflexively sense experience happening through me not outside me is the ultimate shadow work. I've found that deliberately via a premeditated statrategy trying to force a healing at best is only a band-aid solution that ends up being a never ending process and often times totally fails. Just some food for thought you seem like a really caring and thoughtful coach.
Thomas, I totally agree that forcing healing never works. The patterns just bounce back, and it's counter to everything we now know about how the nervous system works, and how trauma repairs. We can never force. Only create an environment of increasing safety and presence within ourselves. The healing that's needed happens on its own. This is what I've come to believe and experience. Thank you.
Wow! I had to watch this 2 times. Thank you so much for this info.
Dee I’m so glad to hear you found it helpful. 💗
Sounds like you are a fantastic healer and I think you're doing a wonderful job. We need more people like you in the world, it's so important. I learnt alot from just this short video so thank you ❤️
Thank you so very much. So happy to hear it was helpful for you.
There is some really good info in this video, but I worry a bit about whether it is being done as a therapist or trained professional in this kind of emotional work. I noticed Catherine said "her intuition pinpointed" stuff within Will. Well, actually, it works better to lead people to their own conclusions. And maybe that is what she meant, but it worries me to see it as something the therapist figures out, instead of what the client figures out. Also, lying down on a table is very vulnerable. Maybe she safely asks, but it's not ideal for someone digging into the psyche.
@Anthony thank you for your observations here. It's true--any true teacher or healing professional will lead the client back to themselves for the answers. This video is old, and I practice differently now, allowing the answers to come from within. Also, I don't ask folks to lie down anymore. Thank you for your care.
@@catherineliggetthealing Anytime, to give a peek from the outside, especially for those who want to do good :)
This explains shadow work so easily. We judge what we are .
Exactly! It’s so simple, really. 💗
But how about people killing themselves or killing others? Or any meschivious activity. We judge those people so how are we supposed to apply this to such situations?
@Gabriel We say it's wrong for us to do these things under any circumstances so we project it on to others with generally negative perspective or others who do kill people have not got this level of projection onto others I feel, would just like to know if I'm getting this lol
I read carl jung and i wish he just explain this more easily. The book was very complicated.
great one
How lovely you are ❤️thank you....
are u still do shadow work sessions?
Great illustration I felt as if I was present over there
Thank you, really enlightening, exactly the guidance I needed
Beautiful and very informative. Thank you.
This is very similar to IFS work
Yes, it's also one of the many forms of parts work, but without the structure and terminology of IFS. I hadn't heard of IFS at the time this video was created--what I demonstrated here was a mixture of methods customized to that particular client. Parts work has roots far deeper than IFS, back to shamanic practices of soul retrieval.
Beautiful
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this
Bia Lat my pleasure! I’m so happy it resonated. 💗
Catherine Liggett how can I get shadow work with you ? I was told I may need it. I found out I have abandonment issues and didn’t know it until I experienced a repeat relationship abuse issue.
Saquera, hi! All the info is on my website here. I work locally in Seattle as well as online. :) www.catherineliggett.com
For me it’s easy to find and organize shadows...I look and ask for shifts in trauma....one moment when something happened and then the person changed it could be a divorce or a rape or a breakup or smaller things like denial of love not being accepted....and then chaining them in a timeline for each example that very close to each other...and then do the work of feeling the trauma and talking to the person who was you before and the person you were after the trauma
I'd like to know more about what you do for people. Thank you!
Hi! The best way to learn all about that is to visit my website, catherineliggett.com :)
@@catherineliggetthealing I respect the significance of your website and that your time is valuable. However I do believe it would benefit us both to create a dialogue via a more direct form of communication. My intentions are purely genuine and professional. Doug
Thank you. 💜
Thank you for this!❤️❤️
My pleasure! Thank you for receiving it with an open heart. :)
i have so many issues because of trauma after trauma growing up with a violent father, i wouldnt know where to start.
You know, you deserve more views than you are receiving. Also the universe led me too you, because I actually went through a whole process in my head on a deep issue while listening to your video. Instantaneous and spontaneously. I want to thank you, so much.
Summer, thank you so much. I'm deeply happy that you had that experience while watching- it's my greatest hope for these videos that they are helpful like that. Of course you were led here- we always are. Sending much love.
Where are you located?
Hi! I’m in Seattle, but am working all online now. 💗
You are so cute🙂
Hey I m frm India cn I also take a shadow work session with with
Hi there! I don't do personal sessions anymore, as I now work with folks through my online program, Becoming Bold. If you like, you can learn more about it here (it's coming up in September): www.catherineliggett.com/becomingbold
Your shadow-approach resembles that of how Fritz Perls would conduct his sessions... Nice effort.... One suggestion, with all due respect,... Drink water prior to presentation...You are a loud swallower and the others' comments drew attention to this... Eliminate all distractions... Love the analysis... You have a trustworthy demeanor..
Pretty sure she’s just a regular run of the mill swallower 😂. I think anyone’s swallowing would be loud if the mic is right on your throat.
the heart chakra is green.
I thought shadow work was accepting the parts of us that we reject? Or is this the same thing kind of …..I have to watch this again lol….
Kelly - yes, that's also a kind of shadow work. There are lots of ways to explore the shadow.
@@catherineliggetthealing interesting …..well I find I judge alcoholics harshly……or just people who drink a lot or are bar flies….I’ve tried to apply what your saying here but I’m not an alcoholic so what could it be that I don’t like about them that I’m afraid I am?
@@catherineliggetthealing Interesting….I seem to be harsh towards people who drink but I haven’t quite figured out what in them I see that I am
@@KellySnow It's more subtle how the unconscious works. It wouldn't be literally "people who drink" but rather the body sensation within you when you encounter such people. I recommend doing my meditation (here on youtube) called "shadow work for inner child healing" to help you identify exactly what the shadow element is that's being activated around people who drink.
