Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- There’s one thing about me I spend enormous energy denying
- I can talk about my feelings all day from the neck up, but the real stuff seems to be locked in my body
- I finish a session and just move on without ever sitting down to name what actually worked and what didn’t
- People show up to our hard conversations still carrying whatever happened ten minutes before
- Our conversations just wander wherever the loudest voice takes them, and whole angles get skipped while we overcook others
Practices that may help
- Shadow Work
Shadow work is the process of becoming aware of — and integrating — the parts of yourself you have disowned, suppressed, or never examined: the traits, impulses, and capabilities you hide from others and from yourself. Rooted in Jungian psychology, it is a clinically used framework rather than a rigorously trialed intervention; the mechanistic rationale is strong and aligns with modern emotion regulation and self-concept research. - The integration letter to a disowned part
Write directly to the trait, impulse, or capacity you most want to disown — then listen for its response.
Shadow Work - Tracking shadow material through the body
Notice where in the body suppressed reactions live — tension, constriction, or deadness are somatic shadow clues.
Shadow Work - Debrief each session with a structured reflection
Write a three-question debrief right after practice to convert experience into learning.
Growth-Edge Training: Practicing at the Edge of Your Ability - Use check-in and check-out rounds to hold the whole person
Every circle opens with a personal check-in and closes with a check-out — creating a container with a beginning and an end.
The Circle Process (Kay Pranis) - Blue hat: manage the thinking process itself
Step back from the content to manage which hat is needed next — the blue hat is the meta-thinking conductor.
Six Thinking Hats, Made Practical - Use a start and end ritual to enter and close maker mode
A consistent pre-block ritual cues the brain to shift into depth; a shutdown ritual seals the block and prevents cognitive carry-over.
Maker vs Manager Schedule - The emotional charge inventory
List the traits that trigger your strongest reactions in others — those reactions are mirrors.
Shadow Work - Run a Friday Reflection
Each Friday, review what you accomplished, what you learned, and what you would do differently.
Getting Results the Agile Way (AGS), Made Practical - Run the full WOOP sequence — not just parts of it
WOOP works as a sequence; running only the wish and outcome steps (pure positive visualization) is not WOOP and may be counterproductive.
