🌑 Let’s Talk About Shadow Work (Spiritual + Mental Health Integration)
Shadow work gets talked about a lot in spiritual spaces, but not always in ways that make it feel safe or grounded. To me, real shadow work isn’t about digging for darkness or forcing yourself into painful memories. It’s about learning to sit with the parts of yourself you’ve avoided… and doing it gently, with intention.
Spiritually, shadow work helps us see the pieces of ourselves we’ve pushed down—our fears, insecurities, triggers, patterns, protective responses—and bring them back into the light with compassion. Mentally and emotionally, this is the same process we use in therapy when we talk about integration. You’re not trying to “fix” your shadow; you’re trying to understand it, reclaim it, and make space for the version of you that doesn’t have to hide.
When your spiritual practice and your mental health work line up, shadow work becomes less intimidating and more like returning home to yourself. It helps you move with more awareness, less shame, and a deeper sense of self-trust.
I’m curious—Have you done shadow work before? What was your experience like? Or if you haven’t started yet, what makes you hesitant or unsure about it?
This is a judgment-free space. I’d love to hear your thoughts, your process, or even your questions.
