47: The Problem with #ShadowWork

Today we examine the explosion of "shadow work" content on social media and why psychological tools in untrained hands may do more harm than good.

* The commercialization of shadow work through viral journals, courses, and TikTok content

* How spiritual coaches adopt psychological concepts without proper training or oversight

* The origins of shadow work in Jungian psychology and its connection to modern therapy

* Why "opening wounds" without proper guidance for integration can leave people worse off

* The powerful scalpel metaphor: "Just because you have a surgical tool doesn't mean you know how to use it"

* How to approach self-help tools with appropriate caution while seeking proper support
