Psychological shadow

The psychological shadow is a Jungian concept describing unconscious, rejected or difficult to accept aspects of one's psyche.

Definicja

In Jung's analytical psychology, the shadow refers to content that a person does not want or is unable to recognize as his own. Nowadays, it is worth using this concept with caution: more as a metaphor for working with repressed reactions, shame and projection than as a hard scientific category. Solid shadow work is not about romanticizing darkness, but about honestly recognizing your own impulses and responsibility for your behavior.

Praktyka i życie

When you judge someone strongly for a characteristic, ask: Is there even a small trace of a similar impulse or fear in me?

Częste błędne rozumienie

It is a mistake to treat the shadow as a mystical truth about man. The second mistake is justifying harmful behavior with the slogan "it's my shadow".
