In this episode of 'Initial Impressions' with host Kayli Pommering, the focus is on exploring and understanding shadow work for emotional healing. Kayli shares her personal journey of overcoming childhood trauma and emotional instability. Diagnosed with bipolar type 2 disorder, she sought non-medication methods for achieving emotional balance. The episode dives into confronting repressed emotions, the concept of shadow work, and specific questions to help listeners understand and release both positive and negative emotions. Kayli emphasizes the importance of mindfulness, self-awareness, and the power of challenging deep-seated belief systems to foster emotional control and inner peace. She also provides personal anecdotes and insights to encourage listeners to experiment with these practices in their own lives. The 4 questions: 1. Why do you think you're afraid of facing your shadow self?  2. What emotions do you try to avoid? What makes you afraid to feel it? What are you afraid will happen if you feel it? 3. What emotions do you deal with in a self-destructive way? How do you usually deal with this emotion?  4. How judged do you feel on a daily basis? How much of that is real or imagined?    Spring by Ikson | https://ikson.com/tell-your-story Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com
