Shadow work

I think I agree. I'm sure on some level it could be useful in for people in a general sense. However, I can see how this could EASILY drive the OCD sufferer absolutely mad trying to figure it all out. Definitely think it's not in the best interest for an OCD person to engage in unless they're guided or have a firm understanding of what they're doing. And even then that's questionable because OCD and it's illusions and delusions.

So what do you think that means though? Is the OCD a result of the shadow meaning- it's true? Like someone who fears harming others...is that because they actually do want that on some shadow level or have some repressed memory of once being that way? Or is that the fear of harm, in relation to the shadow, is something much deeper? Like the "core fear"... like, "if I want to harm others in someway, I would not only be am evil person but also I would lose respect, love, acceptance, family, friends, freedom" so the core fear(s) are actually the shadow. So, the fear of loss and abandonment is the shadow as a result of something else that happend in life that has now manifested in this delusional thinking that you will or want to do whatever the content of the intrusive thought is? Or what if is a sexual theme such as serial orientation themes? Is the shadow repressed homo or heterosexuality? Or is the shadow the fear of rejection, judgement, loss, etc and is stemming from something else entirely? Also, how would this apply to people who have fears such as contamination, health, order and symmetry, death, and so on?

@OoOcCdD66 It's usually as a result of fear in some way. A result they don't want, coming out in one way or another. But I'd listen to the other guys comment.
