This opinion piece highlights the connection between spirituality and the shadow and identifies the need for reflection on this dynamic relationship. The shadow is discussed in relation to the need for increased awareness and the development of safe parameters when considering the inclusion of spirituality and the therapeutic use of self in clinical practice.
