The Advanced Shadow Work Method: A Modern Holistic Approach to Healing Trauma & Building Self-Love

by Courtney Keiser, Caitlin White (editor), Ashley Keiser (contributor)

As a child, Courtney Keiser remembers spirits coming through the mirrored wall in her childhood bedroom trying to calling to her for help. But years of toxic relationships and disconnect separated her from Spirit, and herself, until she finally woke up in her mid-twenties. Dipping a toe back into the realm of emotional and spiritual life, she earned a degree in trauma-informed therapy and began to work with clients. But something was missing from the traditional therapeutic approach, and it was only through working with her own neo-shaman therapist that Keiser was introduced to the healing powers of shadow work. Uniquely positioned to note the connections between shadow selves and unhealed trauma, Keiser went on to create her own proprietary technique for working with clients who are struggling to get past emotional blocks and want to experience transformative healing.

In her first book, The Advanced Shadow Work Method , Keiser details her journey to becoming a Shadow Alchemist & Trauma Specialist/ Spiritual Life Coach, along with the methodology that she uses to help her clients reach their fullest potential and highest good. Part trauma-informed therapy, part shadow, part energy focused as a Reiki Master, part spiritual practices taken from her “Eclectic Witch” toolbelt, and part High Priestess wisdom and skill in creating an otherworldly one-of-kind guided meditation to meet with shadows. Keiser’s book is a must-read for anyone who has a desire to break free of their trauma and step fully into their authentic truth and power.

I don’t don’t usually leave reviews, but The Advanced Shadow Work Method deserves it. The author is onto something big. She combines deep psychological insight with a fresh, practical approach that makes shadow work not only approachable, but incredibly transformative
She’s weaving in elements from advanced somatic and trauma-informed practices (and even some cutting-edge therapy techniques I can’t quite pronounce yet) to create something I think is about to blow up in the personal growth world. This isn’t just theory—it’s an actionable, soul-level process that challenges you, inspires you, and leaves you feeling like you’ve actually moved through something real

If you’re ready to face your inner blocks head-on and come out stronger, find self love this book is the guide you didn’t know you needed. I’m genuinely impressed as a reader

What an incredible book! I resonated with Keiser's Advanced Shadow Work Method so much more than I had expected. Such an eye opening experience / process that I intend to incorporate into my daily life.
