Facing the parts of ourselves we avoid—our shame, fear, and self-doubt—can sometimes bring us out of darkness and into the light.
In this episode of Where Is My Mind, Niall Breslin sits down with Pat Divilly, coach, author, and breathwork facilitator, to explore the transformative power of shadow work. Pat’s new book, Shadow Work, unpacks how Carl Jung’s theories can help us uncover the unconscious parts of ourselves. Together, Niall and Pat explore the roots of shame in Irish history, how it has shaped our collective and personal identities, and why so many of us struggle with self-worth. Pat also shares insights from his work as a coach and breathwork facilitator, explaining how reconnecting with the body is essential for emotional healing, and the complexity and beauty of shadow work in relationships.
