Practically Shameless, How Shadow Work Helped Me Find My Voice, My Path, and My Inner Gold

In Practically Shameless, Shadow Work facilitator Alyce Barry uses her personal story of awakening from depression to explain the human shadow and its transformation, including a riveting first-person account of Shadow Work processes. She reveals for the first time the pivotal role played by our resistance to change, the hidden player that seeks to protect us. When honored for its loving guardianship, this inner resister becomes our wisest ally and archetypal source of support.

Read by the author, who offers the reader an opportunity to receive this honoring directly and so to move toward lasting change. Shadow Work founder Cliff Barry reads his Foreword.

An Appendix on the Shadow Work Model details the emotional wound underlying each of the 16 varieties of shadow and the coping strategy that each of these shadows represents.

Includes a booklet containing illustrations from the paperback edition by Cindy Kalman, formerly of the McNeil-Lehrer News Hour, and a complete list of CD tracks.
