The shadow leads us around looking for the missing parts in us. And we find them, we think we find them in the other person. That person is so independent, she'll never be needy. That guy is so strong, he'll take care of me. Or whatever the fantasy projection is onto the other person.
And then often what happens is people get married. in this romantic projection phase. And then they wake up one day and they go, oh my God, this isn't the person I married. What happened? In this episode of Insights at the Edge, my guest is Connie Zweig, one of the world's leading experts on the shadow.
She's a retired Jungian therapist and co-author of the acclaimed books, Meeting the Shadow and Romancing the Shadow. With her book The Inner Work of Age shifting from role to soul, Connie extends her work on the shadow into midlife and beyond and explores aging as a spiritual practice. And then with her book meeting the shadow on the spiritual path, Connie extends shadow work again, this time into the areas of religion and spirituality.
