Why Loving Your Dark Side Is the Key to Healing

Shadow work isn't about self-criticism or chasing perfection. It is about illuminating the hidden corners of your mind and loving the messy, imperfect parts you find there. Imagine tripping over the same patterns: late-night snacking, people-pleasing, or stifling your creativity. Instead of fighting them, shadow work invites you to uncover the "secret thrill" behind these habits and transform them into sources of power.
