Fear of communication

Fear of intimacy is a fear of rejection and a fear of being seen. Fear of intimacy always involves shame. Working with our underlying shame, helps us become increasingly open with ourselves and others. / Kathy Overman

Engaging with shadow work can help uncover the root of these fears and lead to personal growth and healing. Approach these questions with kindness and patience towards yourself, and remember that shadow work is a process. It might be helpful to journal your responses, revisit them periodically, and seek the support of a therapist or a support group if you're dealing with particularly challenging fears.
