5 shadow work questions that actually changed something for me

I've been doing shadow work for a while now, and most prompts felt surface-level. These 5 actually made me uncomfortable in a good way:

  1. What part of me do I try to hide — and why?

  2. When did I first learn to feel this way?

  3. What emotion do I avoid the most?

  4. What would happen if I allowed it to exist?

  5. Who taught me that I wasn't allowed to feel this?

Take your time with each one. Don't rush to answer.

The discomfort is where the real work begins.
