Have you heard of the term shadow work?
Shadow work is the process of exploring and addressing the hidden parts of ourselves in order to better understand our own thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and motivations.
Parenting plays a key role in shadow work, as it often involves facing and confronting aspects of our own childhood that are unresolved or have gone unaddressed.
Understanding shadow work in parenting is an important concept to explore, so I invited my friend, Zarina Parry to discuss more about this topic.
By understanding and practicing shadow work, you become better able to accept all parts of yourselves, model healthier behaviors for your children and ultimately create a more harmonious family dynamic.
Here are the key takeaways from this episode:
5:25 - Parenting is a life career that there is no guidance for.
5:50 - Shadow work is when you work with the unconscious mind.
6:37 - Having children and being a parent is a gift to learn and discover your truest self.
8:16 - You are conditioned to not ask so many questions and just do what you are told.
12:34 - You have to find a safe way to express your emotions.
23:25 - Allow yourself to be like a child and have that curiosity.
