In this episode, we dive deep into confronting our shadow archetype, a concept introduced by Carl Jung that refers to the unconscious aspects of our personality that we reject or deny. We discuss the importance of self-awareness, embracing our shadow selves, and how doing so can lead to personal growth and a deeper understanding of ourselves. We also explore the impact of psychedelic substances, such as psilocybin and ketamine, on our subconscious, and how they may help us confront our shadow selves.
