Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, is well-known for his work on the concept of the shadow. According to Jung, the shadow represents the unconscious aspects of ourselves that we do not want to acknowledge or accept. These can include our fears, insecurities, desires, and other negative traits that we project onto others. Jung believed that in order to achieve personal growth and self-awareness, it is essential to confront and integrate these shadow aspects into our conscious selves.
