Sad but true of what is happening with the acceptance of our shadow side!
Have you listened to Jordan Peterson at all?
He is the one that got me thinking about the shadow side and the necessity of at least acknowledging that part of us before we can make any transformations and how if, as you say, it is suppressed it will rear it's head at some inopportune times.
Lot's of good information here. Thanks for sharing!

Have you heard of the Natural Medicine community www.NaturalMedicine.io?
That is @NaturalMedicine on Steemit. You will find a lot of supportive people all interested in natural medicines and natural healing plus related topics.

Also there is the Mindful Life community in the @naturalmedicine server here. We run group meditations and support each other as we grow through conscious awareness. With much love!
