Shadow Work Iceberg: Jungian Therapy Worksheet

The "Shadow Work Iceberg" is a visual metaphor for understanding the layers of the unconscious mind and how they influence our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Rooted in Carl Jung’s concept of the shadow—the repressed, denied, or hidden parts of the psyche—the iceberg model helps illustrate how surface-level reactions (the "tip") are driven by deeper, often unconscious, forces (the submerged mass). This worksheet offers a breakdown of each layer, its role in shadow work, and practical tools for exploration.
