ChatGPT helps with shadow work

 Here are 10 powerful shadow work journal prompts:

1. What triggers me the most in others, and what does that reveal about me?

- What comes to mind first is: when I see someone very confident it can make me feel insecure. It reveals that there is a part of me that has been judging itself.

When was the last time I felt deep shame, and what belief about myself did it reinforce?

- The last time was when I impulsively started and ended several relationships within a short time span. It reinforced a subconscious belief that I don't deserve good things in life.

What emotions do I try to avoid, and why?

- The feeling of being rejected, because it feels painful. But maybe it's not actually painful... maybe it's just my perception of it that makes it feel painful right?

How do I behave when I feel rejected or abandoned?

- I tend to isolate from others

What part of myself do I struggle to accept, and how can I show it more compassion?

- The part that seems to have addictive tendencies. I can keep showing him that hey... what you are doing is not wise, but I still love you and I'll be here for you when you realize that what you are doing is wrong.

What’s a childhood memory that still affects me today?

As I recalled it just now, I was able to let some of it ago. (when I was a kid, an adult that I trusted accidentally made me feel that I don't deserve to be loved)

1. When do I wear a mask to fit in, and what am I afraid would happen if I didn’t?

I'm afraid of making people uncomfortable.

1. How do I self-sabotage, and what fear is behind it?

I have blocked myself from opportunities. I have assumed that I 'm good enough, and have caused my own failure. My fear was: what if I don't deserve to have what I want?

1. What patterns keep repeating in my relationships, and what’s the common denominator?

An initial assumption that this relationship will make me happy. And afterwards, losing my faith in the relationship and craving to seek the "right one". There is a seek for completion, and the enjoyment is in the seeking. This is toxic, this should be alchemized. The search must be given up.

1. If I fully accepted myself, how would my life change?

I would stop seeking for completion. There would be a feeling that nothing is missing 😊
