About this episode
Today we tackle the sticky topic of the shadow: what it is, how it forms, and how we can identify our own shadow traits.
Shadow traits are not all negative and antisocial, and they form not because we are evil but because of how we develop as people.
To learn how to do shadow work, go back to last week's episode.
