Shadow Work After Dark Podcast
Welcome! I’m Jaclyn Proper, a Jungian Depth Coach, Educator, Explorer, Underworld Doula, & prior professional dominatrix. This channel is about what it means to be an explorer of shadow and self. We dive into shadow work, eroticism, spiritual psychology, kink, neurodivergence, sexuality, travel, and authentic living through the lens of my personal journey and Jungian psychology. If you’re an unconventional soul, queer, kinky, neurospicy, or simply shadow-curious, you’ll find lighthearted yet no-nonsense conversations here to help you embrace your edges, and uncover the truth of who you are.

What's hiding in your sexual shadow — and how it's secretly running your life.
This is a replay of my Erotic Shadow 101 workshop — the foundational course I recommend before diving into deeper shadow work. If you've been feeling disconnected from your authentic self, stuck in patterns in your relationships, or like something in your sexuality is just... off, this is where to start.
In this workshop we cover:
How the unconscious mind actually works (and why 95% of your behavior is driven by it)
Carl Jung's psychology basics — shadow, persona, ego, and individuation — explained simply
Why sexual shadow forms and how shame, culture, and trauma shape your erotic life
How kink and BDSM relate to shadow integration (yes, really)
Two guided shadow mapping exercises to identify your sexual persona vs. your shadow
A full Jungian active imagination visualization to access what's hiding in your unconscious
This isn't a vanilla course. It's for open-minded adults who are ready to go deep.
