Introduction

In this lesson, you'll learn about what shadow work is and how it relates to developing a Warrior Mindset to confront your addiction (and other challenges in your life).

Shadow work can be understood as doing the opposite of what most of us instinctually do about addiction, urges and unpleasant emotions. And that's a good idea, because what we usually do is clearly not working (this is explained by the What You Resist Persists principle).

In shadow work, instead of trying to resist, push away or run away from unpleasant feelings, we face them head on. We examine the difficult emotions and seek to understand them more deeply.

And exactly how to do that in such a way that it helps you beat your addictions and gain mastery in your life is what you'll learn in the following lessons.
