“Why Do We Need To EMBRACE Our Shadow Selves?”
Manage episode 485124356 series 3664570
Join us on THE DARK SIDE…
…And welcome to “Beat The Mental Health Out Of It!” with your hosts, The DEFECTIVE Schizoaffective and IndyPocket!
The show where we have candid, unscripted discussions about everything related to mental health with a twist of humor and no-holds-barred!
In what might just be the most eyebrow-raising episode yet, we're diving deep into “THE SHADOW SELF” and why running from it is like trying to escape your own shadow… good luck with that!
Let’s face it! No one’s “safe” from their shadows!
They're always lurking just behind you… like that weird Uncle at family gatherings who keeps wanting to show you his “family jewels!”
(Good Lord, that was bad… I’M AM UNCLE!)
In this episode, get ready to be called out, and not just you… we’re taking aim at EVERYONE!
- Why does embracing your “SHADOW SELF” turn you from basic to badass
- How do we wrap our arms around the entirety of our gloriously flawed selves (the glitter and the grime) as a fast track to personal growth
- Why does denying our darker sides do way more damage than an alcoholic stepfather
- What are some safe and not-so-sanitary ways to express and explore the dark recesses of our souls
We’re going to unleash why shoving our dark side back into the closet is a crime against our humanity!
It might just be the most relatable thing about us… and, let’s be real, a little shady!
“Will the real Slim Shady, please stand up?”
But fear not!
We’ll arm you with the tools to cultivate those corrupted craniums without becoming Hannibal Lecter or ending up the topic of some “Lifetime” movie…
No thank you…
I’m sorry guys, but Carl Jung had it right with his theory, and while it might be the most difficult pill to swallow, it also happens to be one of the most profoundly human truths… so get over it!
We’re all BAD… which is what “can” make us GOOD human beings!
Stop judging others for their shadowy sides!
YOU’RE JUST AS BAD AS THEY ARE… and that’s AWESOME! EMBRACE IT!
So, let’s beat our meat… I mean… “BEAT THE MENTAL HEALTH OUT OF IT!” without beating ourselves up!
REMEMBER: “Laughter is the best medicine… so take your f**kin’ pills, y’all!”
