Carl Jung shadow question, When your forced to faced a traumatic experience...
there a chance that your shadow might surfaced to the conscious side..

...I seem to be approaching dissociative identity disorder....so my bad side is a bit more separate than a lot of people experience.
Now that we are talking, he's less likely to sabotage common goals.
...However, he has input on what those goals are now.

I don't understand what you mean by a shadow surfacing to a conscious side, or how a shadow could be psychopathic and harming to you mentally. How does that happen?

it feels like its another "self". its like a different person but still me. or something like a split personality. harming mentally is the thoughts that come into mind...

You should practice meditation, if the teeter tooters to far in one direction in can result in emotional break down or the onset of schizophrenia or similar dis-eases. Try to refrain from extremes of emotion. Seek professional help but be mindful of the meds they give you, most of them are ****** for pharmaceutical companies and just plane quacks. There a necessary evil however unless you want to go down the rabbit hole yourself and learn to fix the machine on your own.Like (1)

If the plates shift and the shadow surfaces without you being prepared it would most likely descend again. If there is such a movement that raw unconscious energies surface to rapidly or forcefully then its most likely a dissociative issue or a schizophrenic episode, which isn't always bad if you can assimilate the energy manually, most cannot however. The best thing to do is fish it out at your own leisure once you know its there, this is done by finding wisdom or reading about the appropriate issue and how others have dealt with it then putting yourself in situations that elicit the shadow content again once your prepared. You cannot see the content of the shadow realm directly but you can see it indirectly, much like finding dark matter in the universe, its not visible but you can see light bend around it. In other words watch the manifestations of your shadow in the world around you by being mindful your feelings and other peoples reactions below the normal surface level.
