ABSTRACT
The Shadow is an archetype, its form is universal, and all human beings possess the same forms of Shadow. As the shadow is an archetype, it always possesses immense power, operates strongly on the emotion, grasps people obsessively, controls them, it is autonomous and might overwhelm and deteriorate the personality. By identifying the client’s weakness, by facing their inferiority, by acknowledging those drawbacks and offering the clients practical tools to deal with, a “coaching Shadow work” is performed. Coping with Shadowy challenges requires attention to instincts, to acts people do while losing their temper, being exhausted, short of money or assets, or being driven by an unrestricted drive. There are three sorts of Shadows: Human evil, Inferiority, and the White Shadow. In Jungian Coaching the challenging issue of white shadow forces the coach and coachee into ethical dilemmas. Coaching very often seems like a Shadow battlefield and Jungian Coaching offers tools to possess the Shadow and empower the challenged Ego.
