(Often because it is bad).  When we feel uncomfortable around certain people it could be a reflection of what our psyche knows is part of us. Only our psyche is aware of that part of our shadow which may never have been allowed.  For example a message from our past childhood that certain behaviours we did we were told was bad so we pack it away as Robert Bly wrote about - a bag that we carry that’s often so heavy we cart it around behind us - yet we’ve never allowed it out because it’s bad!  So years on when it’s bursting to come out - it’s untamed and feral!  Embrace your shadow it’s part of you.  Tame it own it love it #psychotherapy #codependency #addictionrecovery #drugaddiction #codependentnomore #shadow #recovery #selflove #selfawareness #innerchild
