About this audiobook
A blueprint to reconcile with our shadow, resolve the emotional conflicts that keep us stuck and in self-sabotage, and dissolve the hidden forces that hinder our ability to thrive.
In this book, integrative life coach Xavier Dagba explores our relationship to the dark side of the human psyche. This includes wounds from the past, aspects of ourselves we’ve been conditioned to see as unlovable, and, more importantly, our repressed brightness: the golden shadow.
Many books on shadow work focus only on the more “painful” or dark aspects of the shadow. They do not necessarily address the golden shadow. Scars of Gold places shadow work into a well-crafted framework of personal transformation that meets the reader where they are and guides them toward a fuller and more integrated life. Other books on the topic may leave the reader lost in the vastness of the concept of shadow work, without teaching how to integrate the practice into their lives.
This book offers an archetypal exploration of the shadow that will allow the reader to understand their life with more grace. It dives into the exploration of resistance and self-sabotage under the lens of shadow integration and helps the reader dissolve the hidden forces that keep them stuck.
This audio product contains a PDF with supporting material, and the PDF is available to download.
