habits and mindset holistic health holistic wellness intentional living journaling life life direction meaning in life mental health mindfulness mindset overcoming negative thinking personal development personal growth psychology self awareness self care self improvement self reflection shadow work stoicism wellness zen blitz zenblitz 2 comments shadow work for skeptics zen because your demons don t knock and they re not going away image created with gemini as excited as i was to write this post i had a hell of a time with it not because it s emotionally heavy or because i ve studied jung but because my take on it differs a bit from the standard one the stuff we keep stuffing into the basement typically the shadows demons are the unacceptable aspects of your psyche that you bury to be able to carry on in a socially acceptable manner throughout your life your rage your fear your sadness things you were conditioned early on to hide from the world through your upbringing your culture religion gender roles things that tend to pop out in other unpleasant ways sarcasm harsh judgment of others controlling behavior and while i do agree with that sentiment i think it goes far beyond that they can hide beneath many of the struggles i ve been writing about these past few weeks grief anxiety trauma restlessness addictions daydreaming and more they re the thoughts emotions wounds and patterns that refuse to stay buried the things we try not to feel acknowledge or understand the things that keep returning until we pay attention though the shadow isn t always dark sometimes it s creativity that was mocked vulnerability that wasn t safe assertiveness that was labeled selfish joy that felt irresponsible sometimes the things we bury aren t ugly at all the mirror you don t recognize they can manifest in a variety of ways and for a variety of reasons sometimes for no obvious reason something might trigger you someone s judgment of you might hit harder than expected you notice yourself chasing your tail nightmares fantasies they can be like an unrecognizable mirror your past bleeding into the present or they can just be an ominous feeling that you can t shake for me yup getting really real here it s often a crushing feeling that i m a hopelessly fucked up failure who disappoints everyone around me while i m perfectly aware that these are just intrusive thoughts fed by shitty estranged family members who are in no position to judge i can t help but be afflicted by them occasionally sometimes these shadows visit when i m trying to fall asleep all my perceived catastrophic failings as a caregiver all my senseless guilt sneak up grab me by the throat sometimes they visit my husband in his dreams where innocent memories get distorted into horrific trauma which is of course incredibly disorienting pull up a chair this discontent is merely an invitation to get comfortable with the uncomfortable what you resist persists what you accept transforms carl jung demons will always pop out of the shadows it s wise to invite them to tea because they refuse to be turned away for long they have their reasons they always retreat eventually anyway but the purpose of sitting with them is to get to know them what they are why what they need you to learn or know how to proceed when they go back into hiding they re not shameful everyone has their own though many pretend they don t then chase their tails into purgatory they re there to remind you to humble you to keep you compassionate growing you don t have to agree with them you don t have to obey them but you might learn something by listening it s a lifelong process of wholeness enjoy the journey without the destination in mind make love to your darkness until it sighs in relief you can t heal what you won t let howl christopher sexton the tea isn t for them it s for you image created with chatgpt shadow work isn t a one time breakthrough it s a standing

chatgpt most people aren t afraid of being alone or bored they re afraid of what shows up when things get quiet all kinds of shit can come to the surface unresolved emotions grief shame unmet needs existential discomfort let s talk about coping the good bad ugly escape routes and why we need them ideally you could design a life you don t feel the need to escape from but even then we sometimes still need to escape our own minds people don t escape because they re lazy or weak they escape because something inside them feels unbearable empty overstimulated or unresolved there are so many routes especially in our current climate doomscrolling binge watching mindless bullshit maladaptive daydreaming constant stimulation porn alcohol gaming obsessive crushes fantasy lives shopping

vice some coping mechanisms soothe us others consume us fantasy as survival there s a difference between adaptive maladaptive daydreaming there s nothing wrong with daydreaming in general adaptive daydreaming can reinforce creativity inspire you to follow your dreams help you develop character traits you admire or help you escape the mundane or unpleasantness of your reality it can be used to replay scenarios imagine what a relationship with someone would be like ruminate on positive experiences or imagine future scenarios it can be used to manage emotions such as loneliness unmet needs grief boredom restlessness because it can provide a sense of control stimulation comfort emotional intensity or meaning maladaptive daydreaming is when someone gets mentally stuck in that fantasy state it can be addictive the first time i d heard anyone mention maladaptive daydreaming randomly was in a youtube video i watched about a year ago by alwyn oak she starts talking about it about 15 minutes into the video if you re interested sharing my biggest secret healing the inner child the whole idea of it reminds me of what i read in the red book by carl jung toward the end of the book it definitely seemed that he d taken his personal experiments beyond the psychological philosophies of the archetypes the collective unconscious to a more maladaptive mental state i could be wrong though i m not judging because i do this this is my biggest escape route personally i started doing it when i was a kid i didn t have any siblings so i d do what most kids do entertain myself with my imagination i had numerous scenarios environments characters to play with it became a bit maladaptive when i was a pre teen my classmates were less than friendly my anxiety got so bad that i preferred

lost seeking the next hit of dopamine addictions chronic avoidance emotional dependence on fantasy or distraction rage addiction internet outrage parasocial attachment sometimes we don t even numb with pleasure we numb with self improvement constant optimization can become another way to avoid ourselves some coping mechanisms slowly become identities or prisons stopping long enough to see what s chasing you some coping mechanisms protect us some slowly disconnect us from ourselves the point isn t to shame yourself for surviving however you had to survive the point is awareness because once you notice the pattern you get to decide whether it still belongs in your life what s your biggest escape route tell me in the comments if you d like if this resonated share it with someone who needs
