El lado de la sombra

"El lado de la sombra" (the shadow side) refers to the unconscious parts of ourselves that we often deny or hide, such as hidden fears, impulses, or traits we consider undesirable. In psychology, particularly in Jungian theory, embracing this shadow involves recognizing and integrating these aspects to achieve personal growth. It’s a process of self-awareness that allows for a fuller understanding of oneself, leading to more authentic behavior and emotional balance. Instead of viewing the shadow negatively, it can be seen as an important part of our overall identity that, when acknowledged, fosters greater self-acceptance.
