About Myth & Mirror

"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." - Carl Jung

Created by Shadow Work Practitioners

Dedicated to Authentic Self-Discovery

10+ Years of Jungian Psychology Study

Myth & Mirror was born from a deep commitment to making shadow work accessible to everyone. Our team combines years of personal shadow work practice with extensive study of Jungian psychology, therapeutic modalities, and ancient wisdom traditions. We believe that the journey to wholeness shouldn't be reserved for those who can afford expensive therapy or retreats.

Every article, guide, and tool on this site is created with care and grounded in both psychological research and lived experience. We've walked this path ourselves and continue to do our own shadow work daily.

Our Mission

To democratize shadow work and make the profound insights of depth psychology accessible to anyone ready to meet themselves fully. We provide evidence-based, trauma-informed resources that honor both the psychological and spiritual dimensions of human experience.

What We Believe

Wholeness Over Perfection

Shadow work isn't about fixing what's broken—it's about integrating what's been split off.

Compassionate Inquiry

We approach the shadow with curiosity and kindness, not judgment or force.

Accessible Wisdom

Deep psychological insights shouldn't be gatekept behind academic jargon or high fees.

Integration Over Information

Knowledge without practice is merely philosophy. We emphasize practical application.

Our Approach

We blend Jungian depth psychology with modern therapeutic approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic experiencing, and attachment theory. Our content is:

Trauma-informed and written with sensitivity
Grounded in psychological research and theory
Practical and applicable to daily life
Free from spiritual bypassing or toxic positivity
Inclusive and respectful of all backgrounds

A Note on Shadow Work

Shadow work can bring up intense emotions and memories. While our resources are designed to be safe and supportive, they are not a substitute for professional therapy. If you're dealing with severe trauma, active addiction, or thoughts of self-harm, please seek support from a qualified mental health professional.

Remember: Shadow work is a marathon, not a sprint. Be gentle with yourself as you walk this path. You're not alone in this journey.
