Jungian Shadow Work
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
— Carl Gustav Jung
This questionnaire will help you identify the core patterns shaping your life — in relationships, emotions, recurring situations, and how you see yourself. Select all answers that resonate, or skip any question that does not apply.
What is shadow work?
Have you ever reacted to something far more strongly than the situation seemed to warrant? Felt inexplicably drawn to certain people, or repelled by others? Found yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships or work, no matter how hard you try to change?
Those moments are not random. They are signals from the part of you that operates below conscious awareness — what the psychologist Carl Jung called the shadow. The shadow is not something dark or shameful. It is simply everything about yourself that you have not yet seen clearly: the emotions you were taught to suppress, the needs you learned to hide, the parts of yourself you decided were unacceptable.
Shadow work is the practice of bringing those hidden parts into the light — not to fix or eliminate them, but to understand them. When you understand what is driving a pattern, you gain the power to choose differently. That is the whole point.
You do not need any background in psychology to do this work. You only need honesty and a willingness to look.
