So, I Married My Shadow: Poetry & Reflections

So, I Married My Shadow: Poetry and Reflections invites readers on a profound journey through the inner world and intimate relationships. Blending memoir, poetry, and psychological insight, this collection explores themes of intimacy, codependency, and self-inquiry through the lens of shadow work.

At its core lies a call to confront the "other" within-the shadow self-where our hidden fears, unconscious patterns, and unhealed wounds reside. Rooted in Jungian psychoanalysis and esoteric wisdom, this collection offers a poetic and psychological guide to radical self-examination and emotional healing.

Divided into four chapters with 47 poems, essays, and reflective prompts, this book illuminates the path from unconscious suffering to conscious self-acceptance.

Readers will:

- Gain deep insight into how unconscious patterns shape relationships and identity

- Explore relational trauma and codependency through raw, relatable reflections

- Feel validated by the emotional aftermath of betrayal, abandonment, and self-abandonment

- Be guided into transformative shadow work and self-awareness practices

- Witness how pain can be alchemized into power through vulnerability and inner work

- Discover that healing is not about perfection, but conscious presence and self-compassion
