The Shadow Effect

One of the things I love to do is share what’s happening on campus in my psychology class.

Today’s topic: The Shadow Effect

Watch this short video and consider the following questions:

1. What is your shadow?
2. How does your shadow serve you?
3. Where does your shadow come from?

How do I bring shadow side of myself into the light?
