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.

HIGHLY suggest this workbook for all beings ❤️

[Michelle Smith · Rating 2 out of 5]

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.



Thank you to St. Martin’s Essentials and NetGalley for the DRC

This book is written by a minister in the Science of Mind tradition, so a lot of the exercises do use the language of that spirituality (i.e. be positive and you will "attract" more blessings, etc.). But that being said, this is still a wonderful beginner book on shadow work with interesting exercises and great ideas to get your practice going.

A book to help you deal with your inter darkness and learn the lessons your inter darkness can teach you.
