Johnson describes how we all have shadows—the unlit, undesirable, part of our ego that is hidden deep within us that merely—and often painfully—turns up in unexpected places. As we leave these shadows dormant, we veer further away from our true selves. But when we begin to explore and embrace these shadows, we begin to find balance and finally heal the parts of ourselves we thought were broken. Johnson illuminates that by accepting and honoring the shadow within us, we can: · Live beyond judgement and shame through healthy emotional regulation · Strengthen our relationships and develop healthier behavioral and communication patterns · Stop comparing ourselves to others and learn to live with authentic gratitude for what we have and who we are · Move beyond self-sabotaging to radically improve our self-esteem and self-worth Both radical and piercing yet compassionate and gentle, Owning Your Shadow allows us to clasp the painful parts of ourselves—our anger, jealousy, addictions, fears—and use them to discover our most authentic selves. A must-read for anyone who struggles with a lack of self-confidence, trouble setting boundaries, anxiety in relationships, doomscrolling, or simply finding the happiness they know they deserve. Indeed, the light at the end of the tunnel begins when we choose to venture into the darkness first. Review: How to acknowledge and work with Shadow - What a diamond!

The timing of finding this book could not have been better. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does a good job for what it is *by P***R on June 17, 2025* The book promises to help you understand the posited dark side of the psyche and own that, attempting to build on the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung and I think it does a good job of that. This topic interests me. The shadow is explained. For example, beginning in childhood, most of us are subject to so much external explanation, control, and shaping, that our own natural gifts and understandings become repressed and form a shadow. This shadow can accumulate as much energy as the ego. When it accumulates more energy than that, it can erupt in various ways, for example, rage, accident, illness, depression, bad decisions, war. The shadow can be dark or light, with positive or negative traits. When we demonize others, we are projecting onto them our most negative shadow qualities. When we fall into romantic love, we are projecting onto our lover our most positive unacknowledged shadow qualities. The recommendation for dealing with this is to bring the shadow into awareness and expression. We can do that symbolically by ritual; we can sit with the two sides of the psyche and incorporate them both ... see the books on meditation for how that practice helps heal the psyche. To handle the shadow projections of others onto ourselves, we simply recognize them and let them go by. I posit a scale or curve in which on the extreme left is religion and on the extreme right is science; I see this book as more on the left side of that imaginary thought curve. Because I favor a more rational approach to the science of human behavior, this book contains information that I can understand and agree with, then goes on to make some claims I cannot endorse. For for former, an example would be that I agree with the concept of the acculturation process forcing some natural aspects of the personality into remission; the phenomenon of projection; and that meditation can help unify the personality. I do not agree that creativity must be balanced by the acting-out of destruction. Is this just what Jung stated? It does not matter, because if this is not an excuse for wars I don't know what is. More deeply, I believe it is a fundamental misunderstanding of the root cause of war, which, yes, is found in the psyche of man, but not a necessary balance to man's creativity. Carol Tavris, in her book Anger, explains how practicing a behavior and the thinking that appears to justify it, strengthens the behavior ... a figure-ground reversal takes place and the anger or other emotion takes control and strengthens ... and so with the war and destructiveness of man. Johnson also suggests that atheism is something highly destructive, and I happen to believe just the opposite, and that we can, and mostly do, practice Christian-themed morals on a secular basis, as exemplified by Jefferson and his version of the Bible. There are other books on the shadow, and I'm acquiring and reading more on this interesting topic. ## Frequently Bought Together - Owning Your Own Shadow: A Jungian Approach to Transformative Self-Acceptance, Exploring the Unlit Part of the Ego and Finding Balance Through Spiritual Self-Discovery - Inner Work: Using Dreams and Active Imagination for Personal Growth - Man and His Symbols --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/3301783-owning-your-own-shadow-a-jungian-approach-to-transformative-self](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/3301783-owning-your-own-shadow-a-jungian-approach-to-transformative-self) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
