An advocate who hasn’t done shadow work is dangerous to society, but an advocate who has faced their shadow will bring a profound, healing force to the world. Advocacy without self-awareness is perilous; it allows unchecked biases, unresolved traumas, and blind spots to drive one’s actions.

This can lead to division, rigidity, and even harm, as they are more likely to act from a place of fear, control, or ego.
