While the Shadow itself is not evil, it contains everything humans trained to keep away from themselves and others. This includes anger, greed, hate, desires, instincts, shortcomings, trauma, and more. The Shadow is the unconscious self, which contains many of the bad and repressed thoughts we have as humans. The Self is the total package of our unified consciousness, unconsciousness as an individual. The Anima/Animus is our gender roles and identities, which may vary from person to person.
The Persona is the face we show to the world – our public image. Jung described four main archetypes within every human, but there may be an infinite number of archetypes that may exist. The idea comes from Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist known among the fathers of modern psychology, psychiatry, and psychoanalysis. Shadow work refers to understanding more of your shadow, which acts as your psychological dark side.
