Term: Shadow Work

DEFINITION:

A practice based on the Jungian psychological concept of The Shadow, the idea that each of us have some very hidden aspects of the self, aspects that most people might consider dangerous or negative. There are many techniques for the actual practice of Shadow Work; however, the basic concept is to use reflections provided by the people, situations and things that we draw to us as we untangle things we cannot see on our own.
