Naming The Shadow Self

Naming The Shadow Self

In today’s episode of The Karen Kenney Show, we talk about what I like to call “The Shadow Self”. The younger version of ourselves, our ego side of us that is and wants to be the strong protector. Many times, it rears its head because of childhood trauma and stays with us as we grow into adults.

In society, we tend to look at this side of ourselves as the bad, dark side that should be pushed down and never allowed to come forth. Today, I actually want to invite you to take a different approach. One that doesn’t have us abandoning our shadow self but instead bringing it into the realm of light and making peace with it. In doing so, I believe we can turn this alter ego into a positive asset.

What you will learn on this episode:

  • The ego-personality aka “The Shadow Self”  (2:42)
  • Vickky with 2 “K’s” (6:16)
  • What are the shadow aspects of your life? (17:08)
  • If we don’t acknowledge these parts, others will for us (19:46)
  • Sunday Spiritual Sign-up (26:02)
