This interactive presentation about shadow work explores how the unconscious erupts in our lives and sabotages our relationships in repetitive arguments, criticism, distancing, projections, addictions, and life transitions. It explains why the shadow forms in childhood, how to detect it when it emerges, and how to use this practice to make a conscious relationship with it and choose different outcomes. We will explore three examples in depth, including times for self-reflection.
