Shadow Work based on your Psychological Type | The Inferior Function
Today’s video is about how you can integrate your shadow through your inferior function! This is one of my favorite Shadow Work exercises as your functions reveal exactly what YOU need to work on in order to realize YOUR unique potential😊
How to develop your Inferior Function:
1. Identify your Inferior Function
- study all 8 cognitive functions, try to notice how you use them
- tip: if you know your mbti, this can be a good starting point!
2. Engage in activities using your Inferior Function
- start an activity that uses your inferior function (eg Ti chess, Se physical sports, Fi journaling)
- allow room for mistakes & practice, embrace challenges that use your inferior function!
3. Embrace your Inferior Function in your Self-Concept
- try to affirm these qualities in yourself & seek out opportunities to use them
- use affirmations for your inferior function's positive qualities!!
- (check out my video on creating a new self-concept👯♀️)
Please keep in mind, that while type development is typically focused on the most conscious functions, shadow work is the practice of creating a line of communication between the conscious & unconscious, to integrate these unconscious contents into your personality. The inferior function (the least conscious part of your personality) acts as a backdoor to your shadow where you can access these contents and bring them into light✨
This is why I suggest engaging with your inferior function as a part of shadow work, but not to go about it carelessly as it can be quite triggering (especially if you haven’t developed your other conscious functions) so take care! If you have any questions, or thoughts on this, I’d love to hear them😊
The book is “Man’s Search for a Soul” by CG Jung
If you want to figure out your own functions and know your mbti, here’s a quick overview:
ENTP - Ne-Ti-Fe-Si
ENTJ - Te-Ni-Se-Fi
ENFJ - Fe-Ni-Se-Ti
ENFP - Ne-Fi-Te-Si
ESTJ - Te-Si-Ne-Fi
ESTP - Se-Ti-Fe-Ni
ESFJ - Fe-Si-Ne-Ti
ESFP - Se-Fi-Te-Ni
INTP - Ti-Ne-Si-Fe
INTJ - Ni-Te-Fi-Se
INFJ - Ni-Fe-Ti-Se
INFP - Fi-Ne-Si-Te
ISTJ - Si-Te-Fi-Ne
ISTP - Ti-Se-Ni-Fe
ISFJ - Si-Fe-Ti-Ne
ISFP - Fi-Se-Ni-Te
All of these are only suggestions that might help you identify yours, they’re not binding and you’ll know yourself best! The last function in this order is the inferior function, eg ENTP has inferior Si

You could talk about crab mating habits and I still couldn't force myself to click away
I'm an ENFP and on first sight of your video I thought, ah a smart INFJ, I like her. I think your Ti is very good, because all Jung related stuff is very detail-heavy for all of us Te users, because we just can't bother with complexity of details and want a summary or a guide how to use all the information and apply them. Not necessarily true, but just my opinion that Ni+Ti suits you more than Ne+Te, although you are a feeler (NF) for sure. You are also very structured in the way you think and explain concepts, hence the quick INFJ conclusion.
Is it kind of like star signs? I.e., persona being your sun sign, shadow being moon and ego being rising?
so shadow work is just healing yourself from all the traumas and negative beliefs from your unconscious brain. People on internet make shadow work into some kind of journaling and complicated stuff when you can heal in many different ways.
Very helpful. Thank you
oh damn it, im gay
Literally clicked on this video to see if you are still holding the mic(!) Surely there's a better way??
Expertly broken down, I've just begun unraveling some of the Critic Fi issues that I've been holding onto. Also it's interesting to see how an INFP sees their critic Ni, because I have an INFP friend who, although not interested in the container of MBTI, has a strong resistance to his own Critic Ni and often bounces against my Ni. It's as if he uses his Ne to keep seeing alternatives, and as you said, it can be both positive and negative using the Auxiliary so exclusively. Like actually ignoring Critic Ni seems from my perspective like jumping off a cliff and not looking where you're landing. For myself, I've been in the grip of a terrible Fe/Fi conundrum for a while. Fe tells me to connect to people, but Fi says only via the values that they EXACTLY care about in the moment or I'm a bad or annoying person,and so Fe wants to be responsible and just directs me into doing what they want or nothing at all. And then I feel bad because I'm not building connections that are valuable to me as well. My solution to this is to treat Fi as a postmortem( like you have) of 'have I been good or bad?' and so Fe (along with Te) can act as 'it doesn't matter what the connection is, a connection is a connection ' and 'just connect on what you want'. Would be interested to see how you feel about Trickster Se!
Just skimming and I read MBTI as Main Battle Tank >_>
Great video! I went on this path of shadow work as an INFJ and purposely targeting Se. All the things I did were placing myself into what I felt was chaotic and high stress situations, like parties, or doing door to door sales or taking carnival jobs. I basically practiced Se with exposure therapy lol, and I think that helped my capacity for the Se chaos and my ability to direct that intensity. The other way I practice now is by studying the ways other types use their function combos effectively. How does a Se dominant capture peoples hearts while deftly diving in and out Ni intensity, how does a Te dominant direct the room while maintaining adherence to complicated Fi, etc and how can I integrate those skills into what I am? Again, great video!
I cried a bit once you broke down how shadow work is done. The examples you gave made so much sense because I’ve heard and said those things to myself so many times. I have studied Jungian psychology and spiritual methods for years but how you articulated it makes so much sense that it helped me make a breakthrough on an aspect of my shadow I haven’t been able to articulate until now. Thank you so much for making this video. You’ve helped me integrate this knowledge more thoroughly. To all the people who know this stuff by book knowledge, please give this a go. Once you get beyond theory, that’s when the breakthroughs really come in. If you’ve known this for a long time but it’s only now it’s clicked for you, know that it’s not your fault. You finally have the knowledge, the openness, and the wisdom for it to click in the first place ❤
Zoe is wifey material
That's a cool kitty! I been thinking of adopting too. Do you ever read or study any other psychoanalysts like lacan, guatarri, or zizek? Your vids are great, keep it up
Loved this video thank you!
Thankyou
Zoe, your vocal fry disappeared after the 14’00”mark. Beautiful. What do you think about that ?
Is that a Tim Walz branded tampon?
Can you speak about envy and how to overcome it
Exceptionally well-organized and presented. You did a fantastic job of breaking down such a complex topic, covering all the key details while keeping it clear and concise. Subscribed!
what if I want to sleep with you? What if I didn't want to be so lonely but prefer truth over riches, refuse to sell myself to capitalists, and have standards? What if my country doesn't properly ensure my rights(it doesn't)? what if I'm in a simulation but can't figure out if this is a simulation or not and the only way to find out is to possibly kill myself and I'd like to know, should I take the risk, if I did and I was wrong even though I wanted to know would I? what if there's a god, what if I am a god, what if you're an extension of me trying to keep me distracted would that mean that me wanting to sleep with you would be egotistical or vain and once again could I?
Watching this for the third time while painting 🪬
Thank you for all of this helpful information ❤

It's you, it's always been you. Offer it unconditional compassion, not judgement and recrimination.
I dont care do asmr
Great to hear you don't care about what she want's to share. Don't tell her what to do with her channel.
I’m glad the video ended when it did, was developing a crush. I’ve had this problem for awhile where I can’t seem to figure out why I’m not doing this specific thing. I’m not broken, not depressed, or anything of that sort. I’ve heard of shadow work, but didn’t think about it too much. Your explanation has now got me thinking that yeah maybe it really is a missing puzzle piece. Don’t know when it went missing, but yo I fucking need it!
Fascinanting subject! I've read The Courage to be Disliked because I literally need what the title says 😅. There's a form of psychotherapy called ACT that is based on mindfulness coupled with psychological flexibility, while keeping aligned to your core values (similar to what you call "potential"). I think you might find the principles behind it interesting. Thank you for the video!
Try a blending stump. Looks great for a first try :]
"In service to what" as James Hollis would ask.
"You are going to fail even when you are giving it your best, because your best isn't one set level, it's something that you grow and you develop, and that's ok, that's natural".
Why do you hold the tampon in front of your face all the time? 😳
OK, let's assume you're pretty.

It's not the first time I've found a video about Jung's shadow. I'm not particularly draw to Jung's theories but this time I've felt this method is something that I can strongly relate to, specially considering how journaling is the most efficient thing I've ever known to help me sort my thoughts and feelings out. Thank you very much for the best explanation on the subject I've ever seen. I'll try it out when I have the guts to do so.
Such intelligence [dare I say wisdom] in such a young adult … impressive … "a little ray of ‘sunshine’ came into my night" … 🌻💜
Hot take but.. self help stuff is totally unnecessary for a young girl. You just have to try to look cute, not eat like a pig and smile a lot. easy win !
Great presentation. Production notes: next level would be fixing audio so you don't have to hold a mic and lighting so we don't see the ring light in your eyes.
Thank you for the feedback! I’m looking to get a standing microphone, would you perhaps have any recommendations for the light?
My Shadow is deep with a "Fear of my own Success." Im transgender, male to Female , and i am afraid of becoming the Successful Woman i know myself to be...
Yes this is such a big but often neglected shadow complex! We all know the fear of failure, but the fear of success is a big problem as well, it means change… and the fear of not being able to cope with that change. I’d suggest journaling on the fears you have around being a successful woman, list them all out, and start taking little steps to confront them one by one💗 good luck!
I've learned so much in this video I'm amazed
Este video es oro puro ✨. Por cierto, eres re linda 😭💖
Nice discovery. New sub indeed 👍👍
Thank you!
Thats just so much better than 99% of other self help content on youtube. Thanks!🎉
I envy singers but my voice is not good, what should I do? T_T
This was exceptional. I know this are not your ideas , but you explained it beautifully clear and very convincing. This video was more important for me than you could realize, it had the effect like a flash that gave my an idea of my whole self for the first time after a whole year of therapy. I supressed so much because with my parents Love was very conditional. They never loved me for what I was but for their own idea what I should be and I internalized that much more than I realized.
Courage! There are also good features on which we all agreed :+)
wise!
This just showed up on my algorithm 🙂 I checked out the videos and I am so happy to see young people like yourself put in the time and the work to help other people ! Respect and gratitude to you . Very helpful❤

Thank you so much for sharing and explaining this concept. It really struck a nerve with me and will very useful in my personal growth. Even though I’m 60, I still consider myself a work in progress 😂 I imagine I always will be! Thanks and take care. I’m going to check out your other vids now. 👍
The outlet for anger being not doing something is such a course for burnout. I didn't understand the shadow was taking over my every waking moment. I just thought I was actually starting to buy into that negative world view. Instead of making myself happy and breaking the spell I became a person who would have a reason to embody that dark mindset even beyond what was put upon me, I decided to take all the troubles of everyone and wrestle with them. I got aggressive at other people attacking the good side of me because they knew the other guy was just letting me out of my cage. I wanted to be loved and accepted and correct course, but it seemed like everyone didn't care and had forgotten I was the person who wanted to do better not the awful face I was showing to the world because I thought it was a mirror it needed to see.
