Shadow work is a psychological practice based on Carl Jung's concept of the "shadow" - the unconscious parts of our personality that we reject, deny, or suppress. These can include emotions, desires, and traits we consider unacceptable. Shadow work involves acknowledging and integrating these hidden aspects to achieve psychological wholeness and personal growth.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based psychotherapy model that views the mind as made up of distinct "parts" - sub-personalities that developed as protective mechanisms. These include Managers (that try to control), Exiles (wounded parts), and Firefighters (that numb pain). IFS helps you access your core Self to lead and heal these parts with compassion.
No, Shadow Self is an educational and self-exploration tool, not a substitute for professional mental health treatment. If you're experiencing significant psychological distress, we encourage you to seek support from a licensed therapist. The app works well as a complement to therapy or as a standalone tool for those interested in personal growth and self-awareness.
