Practical advice from Peterson: shadow work

[trenton]

I understand that actualized.org may have a gripe with Peterson, but I derived immediate practical benefit from his perspective on psychology and shadow work.  I have judged myself constantly for my capacity to harm other people.  My intrusive thoughts would not stop, and I lived in fear that I could hurt someone.  If you struggle with moral anxiety than understand that the capacity to hurt someone is not something you need to be afraid of it repress within yourself.  I still choose to be careful around his political theories, and just focus on psychology.

I can see myself doing terrible things and fully accept that I am capable of them without judging myself, and this leads to a more peaceful state.
