这是一个适合初学者的10周指南，帮助读者在自我探索的道路上找到心灵上的健康与快乐。影子探索是一个寻找自己最深层、无意识的欲望、隐藏的冲动、希望以及恐惧的过程。每一周，读者会透过书中简短的课程、日记提示、视觉化练习以及创意锻炼，帮助他们安全地找到自己的影子。

你的“影子”由你自己隐藏的部分组成：恐惧和压抑的欲望，但也包括更快乐的元素，比如你的潜在才能和内心的孩子。“影子工作”是一个广泛使用的术语，指的是有意与你的影子接触的行为，以便更好地理解隐藏在你潜意识中的知识和潜力并从中受益。作者希望帮助读者认识并认领你以前可能感到羞耻或害怕的部分，以便你可以向自己展示你的每一部分应得的接受、爱和尊重。

《10周探索你的影子道路》跟市场上其他书不同，它引导读者避免为了自我发现而给自己带来不必要的、无支撑的痛苦。相反地，我们应该专注于追求自己未知的潜力，发现当自己愿意大胆地潜入自己的表面时所带来的温暖和宽慰。最后，作者并没有像其他书只提供日记的形式，而是将这部内心作品呈现为一个为期 10 周的多方面旅程。

✩ Weeks 1 and 2 will help you wade gently toward the depths within you, without pushing you too deep too fast. The exercises will focus on establishing mutual respect, trust, and curiosity between you and your Shadow.

✩ Weeks 3-5 will gently but firmly push you out of your comfort zone, challenging you to confront the painful elements of your Shadow, plunge deeper into the unknown to rediscover your hidden gifts, and to ultimately embrace your Shadow as a companion, not an enemy.

✩ Week 6 will help you learn and apply coping mechanisms for validating and soothing yourself through experiences that you may previously have opted to bury in your Shadow out of shame, pain, or fear.

✩ Week 7 will help you make strides to safely let your Shadow out into the world.

✩ Weeks 8-9 will guide you to look differently, and more deeply, into your Shadow, and the stories you tell yourself about it.

✩ Finally, in Week 10, you’ll look forward and back, to develop a vision of how you can continue to move forward with your Shadow based on how far you’ve come.

✩ And, to help you continue navigating your Shadow Path long after you’ve completed week 10, you’ll find 365 journaling prompts in the back of this book.
