Shadow Work 1: The 8 Jungian Archetypes to Embrace your Shadow #166

The first part of my videos about Shadow Work, What is shadow work and what are the 8 Archetypes created by Carl Jung to better understand yourself? We dive into the different aspects of your personality and try to see how we can understand our Shadow.

Your inner shadow is made up of the parts of you that you subconsciously reject. Jung defined the collective unconscious with eight different Jungian archetypes:

Self: The center of the personality or psyche — your conscious awareness
Shadow: The dark and emotional aspect of your psyche
Anima: An image of an idealized woman that draws people into their feminine side
Animus: The capacity for reflection and self-knowledge
Persona: The mask you wear to show the world while you protect your inner self
Hero: The part of your psyche that can overcome evil and destruction
Wise Old Man: The personification of wisdom within yourself
Trickster: A playful part of your psyche seeking gratification

What is your experience with Shadow work?
