The recently released Marvel Thunderbolts was almost a really beautiful metaphor for shadow work… almost.
However, it made the fatal error of separating the shadow from self. It turned the shadow into something to attack – to destroy. And in doing so, destroyed the weight of its own transformative message.
As someone who has done a fair share of personal development and healing, I have my own perspective on how to approach that healing work. On the other hand, I also see vividly the wounds and fractures that exist within our communities. When healing is needed on an individual and collective level, how can we find balance between the two?
