defining the Shadow. I like to imagine my own shadow as being a web of events that have triggered feelings, behaviors, and emotions that, for one reason or another, I deemed inappropriate or too painful to keep at the surface of my mind. For example, shameful childhood memories tend to lurk within the shadow web. In short, most negative aspects of the self are included in the Shadow. This means that elements of ourselves that we have rejected or deemed as 'bad' reside there.
