Confront your shadows with Rev. Dr. Michelle Wadleigh’s newest book, Shadow A Spiritual Path to Healing and Integration. Readers will learn to recognize their inner darkness and embrace the lessons that their shadows can teach them, ultimately turning these shadows into superpowers. Journaling spaces and exercises will help readers live Michelle’s lessons, and the book closes with a set of ongoing practices to allow readers to carry the book’s wisdom through the rest of their lives.Based on her own experiences with early childhood trauma, Shadow Work is the culmination of Michelle's hard-earned knowledge of self-love and forgiveness to achieve a life filled with creativity, love, and abundance. For anyone ready to explore and embrace the darkest parts of themselves, Shadow Work offers an easy-to-follow path to transcendence, self-compassion, and healing.
Helpful, ponderous, weighty. Sometimes felt like scratching the surface and other times brought on major aha moments. The author recommends you take your time reading it...she's right.
It’s a very short book, with exercises, journal prompts, followed by an example story. I’m sure this will prove helpful to many, but I personally didn’t find overmuch that I was unfamiliar with. I also didn’t require, or find helpful, so many “examples” of people who took a course by the author.
*disclosure: I read the work in this while being in EMDR therapy and after speaking with my therapist.
