The shadow archetype represents the “dark side” of our personality, those traits and attitudes that the Conscious Self does not recognize as its own. During childhood, the personal shadow develops in all of us. Through reference figures such as parents, family members, teachers... and our own experiences and learning, we define what is appropriate behavior and what is not. Even each culture defines differently what corresponds to the shadow: aggression, ambition, sexuality, intense emotional expression...some validate these behaviors and others banish them.
