In this episode of Hearing the Unheard Stories of Transformation, Eric and Jill dive into part two of their series on building a solid sense of self. They explore the concept of the “shadow self” based on Carl Jung’s theories and discuss how unacknowledged parts of ourselves—both light and dark—shape our identity. Using real-life examples and therapeutic insights, they explain how our hidden desires, suppressed emotions, and unexperienced potentials make up the shadow self.
Eric and Jill discuss the process of bringing these shadow elements to light to become more whole, balanced, and authentic. They also highlight the importance of curiosity and compassion in the journey toward self-awareness, offering actionable steps for integrating both positive and challenging parts of our personalities. Their conversation covers the role of therapy, faith, and safe relationships in this transformative work.
