THROUGHOUT OUR LIVES we deny the parts of our authentic selves that our families, peers, and the world told us were wrong or unlovable, and from this repression our shadow is born. By the time we reach adulthood, much of our authentic self is shadow, and we no longer feel vibrant and enthusiastic about life. Yet the shadow is composed not only of the trauma and darkness we have experienced but also the light we have yet to absorb.
