	Jung's view of the shadow self explores our repressed or hidden motives and desires. He believes that too much focus on the persona - the public face we show to the world - leads to disconnection from our true selves and to lack of authenticity.

	~~The desires of the shadow self contain negative impulses that should not be acted upon, but may also include overly stigmatized emotions and drives that can be expressed in healthy ways.~~

	~~Consider a negative emotion like rage and how it can drive us in athletics, or how lust can fuel the creation of art.~~

	One must find a balancing point between being who society wants us to be - which can be useful for group activities and social cohesion - and acting on our internal drives which make us unique individuals with diverse perspectives and vibrant inner realities.

	~~It is also important to focus on healthy expression, as some of the things we repress - like tribalistic violence - can easily turn to tragic ends.~~

	~~Discovering ones inner motivations can be done through meditation, mindfulness, dream analysis, and other techniques for exploring the subconscious and unconscious self.~~

	~~Finding one's people: improves opportunity for authenticity.~~

	~~== Script ==~~
	~~=== Premise ===~~
	The Shadow Self is comprised of our repressed or hidden motives and desires. This is in contrast to The Persona, which is the public expression of our selves that we show the world. Too much focus on The Persona - our public face - leads to disconnection from our true selves and to lack of authenticity.

	~~Examples of key archetypes and their shadow counterparts are listed after this section.~~

	~~=== Counterpoint ===~~
	The desires of the shadow self include negative impulses that should not be acted upon. Cultural repression of these dark desires, however, may be excessive; limiting the healthy expressions of these motives and inhibiting authenticity.

	~~=== Handle Counterpoint ===~~
	While uncontrolled expression of one's shadow self can be destructive, consider how The Bully or The Tyrant can be channeled into athletic performance. Emotions available to The Perfectionist and The Addict can be leveraged by artists to create their greatest works.

	~~=== Integrate Main and Counter ===~~
	The key to integrating the shadow self in a healthy way lies in balance. The persona enables us to work with our community by conforming to public behavioral norms, and finding healthy expressions of our shadow self enables us to be more authentic and adds flavor and diversity to the zeitgeist.

	~~=== Take Care, However ===~~
	~~When exploring expressions of the shadow self, approach with care. Some of the things we repress - like militant tribalism - are prone to toxicity.~~

	~~ed: Is this already said? am I just rehashing?~~

	~~=== How To ===~~
	~~Discovering ones inner motivations can be done through meditation, mindfulness, dream analysis, and other techniques for exploring the subconscious and unconscious self.~~
