About this app

Shadow Work AI is a shadow work journal that combines Carl Jung's shadow work with CBT therapy to help you break the cycle of self sabotage. Face the shame and unconscious beliefs driving your patterns, and get concrete actions to change them.

Carl Jung's concept of the shadow self is about facing the unconscious parts of ourselves that we suppress. Our shadow work journal helps you work through that shame instead of avoiding it, reconnecting with the inner child underneath your self sabotage patterns. Shadow Work AI generates deep journal prompts that guide you through this shadow work, one reflection at a time.

We use CBT therapy best practices to identify your cognitive distortions and unhelpful thought patterns — with custom action steps to work through them.

How It Works
AI-Powered Shadow Work Journal: Every session delivers fresh prompts tailored to your emotional needs
Face Your Shadow Self: Explore the shame and suppressed beliefs feeding your self sabotage, and integrate them
CBT Therapy Action Steps: Get concrete steps to identify and break your negative thought patterns

Key Benefits

Reconnect with Your Inner Child: Build a compassionate relationship with the parts of yourself you've kept hidden
CBT Therapy for Real Change: Identify cognitive distortions and get concrete steps to shift them
Chat-Free, Judgment-Free Journaling: Flexible enough for neurodivergent minds that think and feel differently

Anyone wanting to break free from self sabotage or recurring patterns

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.
