Shadow work is the conscious process of reclaiming the things we’ve rejected in ourselves. In this video we explore the basics of Carl Jung's shadow archetype through the 2010 film Black Swan, by Darren Aronofsky.

According to the Swiss Psychologist Carl Jung, the shadow represents the unconscious parts of our personality that we don't acknowledge or accept, and includes negative traits such as anger, jealousy, and aggression. But it also contains enormous positive potential and many remarkable gifts that we’ve left behind in our childhood.
