About this app

Shadow Work AI is a shadow work journal powered by AI combining Carl Jung's shadow work with CBT therapy to help you heal the hidden beliefs driving your patterns — and give you concrete actions to change them.
Carl Jung's concept of the shadow self involves exploring the unconscious parts of ourselves that we suppress. Our shadow work journal helps you bring these hidden aspects into the light, fostering self love and emotional healing. Shadow Work AI uses an AI therapist approach, without the back and forth chat, to generate deep prompts that help you uncover, reflect, and integrate these deeper truths — especially for neurodivergent minds that think and feel differently.
We use CBT therapy best practices to identify your cognitive distortions and heal unhelpful thought patterns — providing custom action steps to overcome them in an engaging way, without an endless chatbot.

Love that it's not a chat based therapy app. They made it unique and it gave me deeper insights about myself than I was expecting. Also it's free as long as you keep the billing in mind.

Hi Samaria, we just refunded you. You shouldn't have been charged for the year before the 7 days was up. Our trial even sends an email reminder 2 days before the trial is up so users can cancel before a dime is paid. If you’re open to updating your review, we’d really appreciate it as we're just an indie team trying to build something helpful.
