Shadow Work & Inner Child Healing Intensives at Onyx Therapy
​
Shadow Work, a concept first introduced by Carl Jung, is the process of uncovering, understanding, and integrating the hidden aspects of yourself—what he called “the shadow.”
These are the parts of you that hold suppressed emotions, unmet needs, and painful memories. At Onyx Therapy, we believe that healing your shadow is essential for emotional integration, self-acceptance, and inner child healing.
Over time, we all learn to hide parts of ourselves that were shamed, rejected, or misunderstood. These disowned parts often influence your life from the background, showing up as self-sabotage, people-pleasing, emotional shutdown, or explosive reactions during conflict. This is your unhealed inner child trying to protect you in ways that may have once worked—but now cause more harm than help.
Our Shadow Work Intensives are two-hour, trauma-informed sessions designed to help you:
-
Identify patterns, triggers, and beliefs rooted in childhood and past trauma
-
Reconnect with your inner child through compassion and guided self-reflection
-
Release shame and begin emotional healing through deep shadow integration
-
Develop tools for emotional regulation and self-compassion
-
Experience breakthroughs that can transform your relationship with yourself and others
Each Shadow Work Intensive provides a focused, supportive space to explore the parts of yourself that have long been silenced. You’ll learn how to meet your shadow with curiosity instead of criticism, and compassion instead of judgment—creating lasting inner change.
Whether you’re healing from complex trauma, narcissistic abuse, grief, or a lifetime of self-blame and emotional pain, shadow work offers a transformative path to healing.
At Onyx Therapy, our clinicians specialize in trauma recovery, inner child work, and shadow integration. Together, we’ll help you understand your shadow, reclaim your power, and reconnect to your authentic self—so you can live with more clarity, peace, and self-acceptance.
