Shadow Work is a clinically grounded approach to the subconscious protective patterns that influence behavior, emotional responses, and decision-making. Together, we'll clarify the difference between suppressed and repressed material and examine how these patterns present in real time. Through recurring behaviors, emotional triggers, and internal resistance, you can recognize when a response is protective rather than responsive. A structured five-phase approach is introduced, focused on awareness, understanding, integration, and updating responses for lasting change. Along with how hypnosis supports this work by allowing efficient access to underlying patterns without overwhelming the individual. Practical strategies for bringing Shadow Work into your own clinical practice are provided throughout this course.
