  • Resumen

  • Embracing your Shadow Self Listening time 7 minutes. In the realm of psychology, Carl Jung explored the concept of the "shadow self," which refers to the unconscious and often hidden aspects of our personality. According to Jung, the shadow contains our repressed desires, fears, and impulses that we may find undesirable or unacceptable. When it comes to embracing one's shadow self, Jung believed that it is essential for personal growth and individuation. By acknowledging and integrating our shadow aspects, we become more whole and authentic individuals. Embracing the shadow self involves facing our fears, accepting our flaws, and understanding the darker aspects of our nature. It requires self-reflection, introspection, and a willingness to explore the depths of our psyche. On the other hand, religion often promotes an idealized version of ourselves, focusing on moral virtues and adherence to certain principles. It encourages us to strive for righteousness and suppress or deny our shadow aspects. In religious contexts, the shadow self is often seen as sinful or evil, and there is an emphasis on repentance and seeking forgiveness. While religion provides a moral framework and guidance for many individuals, it may overlook the importance of embracing and integrating the shadow self. Jung believed that denying or repressing the shadow can lead to psychological imbalance and inner conflict. By only focusing on the positive aspects of ourselves, we risk disowning and projecting our shadow onto others, leading to judgment, prejudice, and hypocrisy. In summary, Jung's perspective on embracing the shadow self suggests that it is a crucial step towards self-discovery and personal growth. While religion may focus on moral virtues and repression of the shadow, Jung encourages individuals to confront and integrate their shadow aspects to achieve wholeness and authenticity. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/psychicsouls/message
