Ego Resistance in Sexual Shadow Work (Why It Can Be Hard to Start)
About this episode
Let’s talk about the part of your psyche that freaks out right before everything changes. In this episode, I’m breaking down ego resistance—what it is, why it shows up during shadow work (especially sexual shadow work), and how to tell the difference between genuine unreadiness vs your ego just being loud AF.
I share client stories (including one who almost missed his alignment session and went on to have life-changing results), personal examples from my own shadow work journey, and a real look at how resistance shows up: flakiness, confusion, life chaos, even physical symptoms. We cover:
💥 Why your ego clings to the familiar (even if it sucks)
💥 The top excuses people make when change is close
💥 The psychological defenses behind resistance
💥 How to actually push through sabotage with compassion and strategy
💥 How shadow work can trigger identity death—and rebirth
This is your sign that resistance doesn’t mean stop—it means you’re on the brink of something powerful.
