RESOLVE SHADOW

Track the Triggers, Trails and Traces

Discover proven strategies and techniques to resolve shadow and heal the inner self

Our Effectiveness as Leaders Depends on Healing Shadow

Discover how to cultivate the self, diagnose drama, and integrate shadow

“The unconscious insists, repeats, and practically breaks down the door, to be heard.
The only way to hear it, is to invite it into the room ..." Annie Rogers, Psychologist

 

Cultivate the Self and Resolve Shadow

Our inner mindset, both conscious and subconscious, creates our outer life experience. We can cultivate our inner self by attending to our words and thoughts, emotions and perceptions.  Simultaneously, if we diagnose the psychodynamics underlying dramas, we can deepen our self-awareness. By understanding and resolving reactive patterns at their source, we can eliminate emotional triggers, expand our leadership capacity, enhance our wellbeing, and shift from struggling and striving to thriving and flourishing.

We Heal Shadow on the Journey from Achievist to Synergist

As we lean into the collaborative collective systemic 4th Perspective at Catalyst, from the competitive individual linear 3rd Perspective at Achievist, we begin to cultivate our inner world to manifest a new reality in our outer world. To mature psychologically, we learn to perceive, diagnose, and resolve inner shadow to develop a healthy ego. An outcome of effective shadow resolution is a calm and clear Synergist Mindset at mature 4th Perspective. This complexity of mindset is the single largest driver to leading effective transformation.
