Shadow Work Archetypes Guide
You keep putting in more hours at work, and the burnout is real, but you just don’t know what to do about it.
You take the kids to all the activities, put meals on the table, grab groceries for your mom, and even make sure your partner has the attention they need, yet you haven’t made time for your own workouts, rest breaks, or personal time in months.
You can’t stand looking at photos of yourself, and don’t wear half the clothes in your closet, because your inner critic is so loud about your body, your weight, your age…and everything else.
You’ve done the work to try to get out of these cycles: the journaling, the self-reflection. The “I thought I already healed this” moments.
But some patterns keep coming back, and you don’t know why.
Patterns like:
▪️ You procrastinate until the pressure becomes unbearable, then you power through in a panic.
▪️ You shut down emotionally when someone gets “too close.”
▪️ You keep attracting clients (or partners) who don’t respect your boundaries.
▪️ You replay arguments in your head for hours, sometimes days.
▪️ You feel guilty for resting, slowing down, or saying no.
▪️ You minimize your own success and worry you’re not “qualified enough.”
That’s because some parts of you are still in the shadows.
Your shadow is made up of the parts, or traits, of yourself you’ve learned to hide, suppress, or deny, most often without ever realizing it.
When you understand your shadow, you can start to unravel unresolved emotions, self-doubt, and burnout.
Ready to see your shadows and finally reclaim your strength?
The journey to self-trust starts in the shadow. Let’s walk it together.
What People Are Saying
“Karin guided our group through a Shadow Archetypes workshop with such gentleness and ease, even over Zoom. Her facilitation helped us uncover our blind spots, understand our triggers, and see the deeper shadows behind them. Thanks to this session, I’m now more able to recognize my own patterns and do something about them.”
