A smart, sexy guide to embracing the repressed, tabooed, and often unwanted aspects of ourselves so we can discover our inner power and finally live the life we deserve.
âWe always get exactly what we want; but often, though we may not be aware of it, what we most want is darkâvery dark.â
Each of us has a dual nature: we are light (conscious) and dark (unconscious). The dark side of our personalityâthe âother,â the shadow sideâis made up of what we think is our primitive, primal, negative impulsesâour âexistential kink.â Our existential kink also drives the dark or negative repeating patterns in our life: always choosing the abusive partner or boss, settling for less, thinking that weâre undeserving, not worthy. But it also is the source of our greatest power.
In Existential Kink, Carolyn Elliott, PhD, offers a truth-telling guide for bringing our shadow into the light. Inviting us to make conscious the unconscious, Elliott asks us to own the subconscious pleasure we get from the stuck, painful patterns of our existence.
