How to Befriend Your Shadow: Welcoming Your Unloved Side

By Jean Monbourquette

Book Overview

Each of us has a 'shadow', composed of everything we have driven into our unconscious for fear of being rejected by the people we loved when we were young. Over the years, we created a whole underground world filled with things that were shameful, displeasing or upsetting to those around us. Our task as adults is to rediscover what makes up our shadow, to bring it into the light, and to use it for our own spiritual growth. If we refuse to do this work, we risk being out of balance psychologically, and our lives and relationships will not reach their fullest potential. Is your shadow your friend or your enemy? That will depend on how you see it and how you relate to it. This book offers you the tools you need to welcome your shadow side. Befriend your shadow, and watch your relationship with yourself and with others grow and deepen

Customer Reviews

clever but average

A friend recommended this book to me. As a sort of revelation. But even though I think it is clever it is not a mental earth quake to me. I guess I have read more or less the same thing elsewhere. But still it is an easy read and a good layout of the thesis.
