Are They Unclear on the Concept??
When I quickly perused this book's table of contents, I immediately thought the author or authors might be unclear on some of the concepts of shadow work. I found it strange that they seem to separate the concepts of the shadow self and the unconscious self. From my study of psychology, these are two different names for the same concept. What is the shadow… is the unconscious and vice versa. As I started reading the book, the author or authors seemed to be unclear on further concepts. They seem to think that all of the shadow stems from trauma. While that may be the case for some, sometimes the roots of our unconscious selves are not quite as dire as that. Rather, sometimes they spring from difficulties at certain important stages of development, our interpretations of relatively non-traumatic events, or even things more benign than those. The developing psyche can be a fragile thing. I also found the example in the first chapter to be a rather bizarre and even laughable one when considering the shadow self. Really, is public speaking the best example? Even if someone is relatively comfortable talking with a few friends, that doesn't mean they're comfortable talking with a large crowd or a crowd of strangers…and it certainly doesn’t mean that the person’s shadow self is at play.. I myself am quite comfortable talking with one or two people I know well, but make that 20 or more, and my comfort level falls to zero. I don't think I'm unusual in that or that it's necessarily a shadow issue or something that has come from trauma. This book undoubtedly contains nuggets of wisdom, but I think you need to have a little psychology under your belt to separate the wheat from the chaff.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
