Shadow Work Basic Worksheet: A Personal Journey to Understanding Yourself

Section 1: Getting to Know Your Shadow

Hayy, let's dive deep. This isn't about fixing anything, it's about understanding yourself better. Take a deep breath and be honest with yourself.

• What emotions do I tend to push away or pretend don’t exist?

• What kind of people or situations really push my buttons? What does that say about me?

• What patterns keep showing up in my life that I wish would just stop already?

• How do I handle criticism? Do I get defensive? Why do I think that is?

• What qualities in others make me cringe… and do I secretly have them too?

Section 2: Facing Your Fears

Nobody likes admitting what scares them, but here’s where real growth happens. Let’s dig in:

• What am I most afraid of, and what’s the worst thing that could actually happen?

• When have I felt rejected, unworthy, or just not enough? How did that shape me?

• How do I react when I fail? Do I shut down, overwork myself, or pretend I don’t care?

• What beliefs do I hold about myself that might not actually be true?

• Where in my life has fear been in the driver’s seat, making choices for me?

Section 3: Healing & Self-Acceptance

Alright, now that we’ve opened the door, let’s sit with our shadow instead of running from it.

• What parts of me have I ignored, judged, or been ashamed of? Why?

• How can I start being kinder to myself—especially the parts I don’t like?

• If I could go back and comfort my younger self, what would I say?

• What’s one way I can embrace my whole self, not just the ‘acceptable’ parts?

Section 4: Releasing & Transforming

Time to let go of what isn’t serving you and make space for something better.

• What habits, thoughts, or beliefs am I finally ready to release?

• What healthier beliefs or actions can I replace them with?

• How can I start showing up as my full, authentic self every day?

• What’s one promise I can make to myself moving forward?

Final Reflection

• Write a letter to your shadow, letting it know you see it, you accept it, and you’re ready to work together instead of against each other.

• Set an intention for your shadow work journey moving forward. What do you want to gain from this process?

🌿 Reminder: Healing isn’t about being perfect: it’s about being real. You’re doing amazing, even if it doesn’t feel like it yet. Keep going!! 🌿
