I loved this book and found it very insightful. It contains many helpful tips and exercises to help us recognise 'shadow aspects' of ourselves that may be influencing/hindering/affecting our most intimate relationships. Using Story Image Therapy (SIT), Dr Gordillo uses myth and fable to help the reader learn more about behaviours and issues that affect relationships and ancient wisdom that opens the mind. I especially loved the 80/20 balance and how that could better balance and improve the impact of your 'shadow self'. Dr Gordilla offered a section called 'Terms and Concepts' at the beginning, which was extremely helpful once I got into the story of Frog and Scorpion. There are excellent visual aids throughout the story, and the exercises at the end are outstanding. I read her prior novel, Shadows of Sylvaheim, and, as with that novel, Dr Gordilla makes complex concepts easy to understand through storytelling and her writing leaves a positive, long-term impact. Oh, and I love the cover art!
