Own your shadow side | Dr. Anna Yusim [Video]

For us as human beings, it’s very important to own all parts of ourselves, including our shadow side. Shadow side is the part of us that we believe is unlovable. Early on, we’re taught that certain parts, whether if we’re too dependent or have too many dependency needs, or our anger or aggression, are not okay and we disavow those parts, meaning we push them away and don’t accept them as a part of ourselves. The old adage, however, is that what we resist persists and what we don’t own us. Unless we go deep within and start to first become aware of, and then reintegrate, our shadow parts into our personality, those parts start to rule us in often unprecedented ways.
