In a chance encounter with a fellow passenger on a long train journey, I learned about the concept of “shadow work,” a term used in psychology. The stranger explained that it involves exploring the unconscious, the hidden parts of our personality that we often ignore or deny. Through our conversation, it became clear that many behaviors and emotions that seem to emerge out of nowhere—like sudden anger or deep resentment—may actually stem from these hidden aspects of ourselves. Engaging in shadow work encourages self-reflection and personal growth by acknowledging and integrating these suppressed traits. This fascinating insight led me to a deeper understanding of personal development and the importance of self-awareness.
