What started as an idea for a small post after watching The Batman in March 2022 turned into a full manuscript all about the world of shadow work. It's not easy but it is simple and requires courage and honesty. But it will be worthwhile, as it'll help you get the answers to the questions you may have.

Here's some of the back cover blurb below to give you more of an insight:

"They think I'm hiding in the shadows. But I AM the shadows"

The Batman had it right. 

Our shadow. We all have one. 

It’s always standing right behind us, just out of view. But always an integral part of us. 

It contains all of the things that are unacceptable not only to society, but also to one's own personal morals and values.

Sounds like a scary place and something you should just avoid, right? And just focus on the positives instead, like so many on social media practically demand that you do?

You could. 

Or you could take the courageous step to accept and meet it to think deeply about aspects of your life you may typically ignore. It may cause you to uncover repressed feelings or trauma, discover the origin of a certain toxic behavior, or even gain insight into why you have the fears and anxieties you do.

Many of us go through our lives accepting the negative aspects of their identities as fixed, and unable to be changed, or as things we wish to not think about. However, these mindsets are simply another coping mechanism that allows us to distance ourselves from our reality, and remove personal responsibility for our thoughts and behaviors.

It's time for you to to take back that responsibility, and seek out your answers to the questions you have about you, with the help of this book, which introduces the concept of shadow work: what it is, how you can do it and what you can get out of it.

Shadow work encourages you to think deeply about aspects of your life you may typically ignore. It may cause you to meet and accept repressed feelings or trauma, discover the origin of a certain toxic behaviour, or even gain insight into why you have the fears and anxieties you do.

What your questions about you are, your answers are in your shadow.
