What are the Shadow-Lands

The Shadow or Unconscious is the place where we store many of our painful or repressed memories and experiences. But rather than being locked away they continue to unconsciously influence our lives in the decisions we make and the Relationships we form. The Shadow holds our potential as well as those things we are ashamed of and would rather forget.

No therapeutic journey that aims to heal and offer the potential for long term change can ignore the Shadow, however consciously entering the Shadow can be frightening but ultimately liberating as we reclaim those parts of ourselves long ago forgotten and split off. As a Therapist it is part of my work to create a safe enough environment to hold my clients in this exploration.
