    Exploring Our
    Shadow Self
    Our shadow self usually forms in childhood due to environmental
    factors. When we act a certain way and we're told to stop or even
    punished for it, it's only natural that we'd want to stop acting that
    way. We'd want to suppress that trait, consciously or unconsciously.
    Thus the shadow self develops.

    Can you recall being punished or told to stop when displaying certain
    traits as a child? Which ones and what was the reason your parent or
    caregiver gave?

    s e e k i n g s e r o t o n i n . c o m
    Working on your
    Shadow Self
    Here are some prompts that you can ask yourself in order to begin your
    Shadow Work journey.
    Shadow Work is a process that we never really finish, so these are just to
    get you started.

    What's a trait about yourself that you struggle to accept?

    Why do you think this is and where do you believe this trait comes from? Is it actually
    a trait you need to suppress or where you just told that you should?

    Do you need to work on this trait or do you plan to accept it? How? How does this
    make you feel?

    s e e k i n g s e r o t o n i n . c o m
    Accepting the
    Shadow

    As much as Shadow Work is about uncovering your shadow self and


    growing from it, it's also about accepting and forgiving yourself for these
    traits.
    Forgiveness doesn't mean that we give ourselves permission to continue being
    destructive or engaging in behaviour that hurts ourselves and others; it means
    acknowledging that we're human and that we CAN grow.

    What do you like about yourself?

    What shadow traits have you discovered and actually quite like?

    We don't have to 'delete' our shadow traits. We may need to work on some, but
    most shadow traits (being loud and extroverted, for example) are actually just parts
    of our personality and we've been conditioned to believe we should hide them.
