Shadow self

The shadow self is the repository of everything you have disowned, repressed, or deemed unacceptable about yourself—your anger, ambition, grief, or raw desire. Until you can acknowledge and integrate these disowned parts, they operate you from below consciousness, often projecting onto others or sabotaging your stated intentions.
