Culturally, many societies tend to emphasize the value of positivity and reject or stigmatize negative emotions and traits. We are often encouraged to present a flawless image to the world, which can lead to the suppression and denial of our shadow aspects. However, by acknowledging and integrating our shadows, we can embrace a more holistic and authentic version of ourselves.
Psychologically, the exploration of the shadow aligns with the process of individuation, a term also coined by Carl Jung. Individuation refers to the journey of becoming a whole and integrated individual by integrating all aspects of the self, including the shadow. It is through this process that we achieve a greater sense of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and psychological well-being.
