Summary

A smart, sexy guide to embracing the repressed, tabooed, and often unwanted aspects of ourselves so we can discover our inner power and finally live the life we deserve.

“We always get exactly what we want; but often, though we may not be aware of it, what we most want is dark - very dark.” 

Each of us has a dual nature: we are light (conscious) and dark (unconscious). The dark side of our personality - the “other”, the shadow side - is made up of what we think is our primitive, primal, negative impulses - our “existential kink.” Our existential kink also drives the dark or negative repeating patterns in our life: always choosing the abusive partner or boss, settling for less, thinking that we’re undeserving, not worthy. But it also is the source of our greatest power. 

In Existential Kink, Carolyn Elliot, PhD, offers a truth-telling guide for bringing our shadow into the light. Inviting us to make conscious the unconscious, Elliot asks us to own the subconscious pleasure we get from the stuck, painful patterns of our existence. 

Existential Kink provides practical advice and meditations so we truly see our shadow side’s “guilty pleasures”, love and accept them, and integrate them into our whole being. By doing so, Elliot shows, we bring to life the raw, hot, glorious power we all have to get what we really want in our lives.

brilliant highly recommend

very useful, wish it was longer with more stories. as a British person the voice was a bit hard to get used to at first but not for long and I liked the range of intonation.

Listening a second time

Really enjoyed the way of thinking and acceptance. I didn’t apply it properly the first time - going back to listen and learn again and change my life.

Original and inspiring

Different from other books on manifestation. Liked the alternative take on many well known schools of thought. Really thought provoking and exercises were helpful.

Simply amazing!

This is a game changer. I’ve already been digging into Jung’s shadow work for a little while and this book helps you understand and also apply shadow work into your life and it does it in factual, inspiring, humorous and very entertaining way. Fantastic piece of work. Thank you Carolyn!

Masterful, Shadow Integration, Manifestation,

A masterful technique of shadow integration with a metaphysical and spiritual approach. Will make particular sense to people with an understanding of the psyche and unconscious, and with the Vedas and Upanishads, and meditation techniques such as Vipassana. Will help any body who is brave enough, to come out of self sabotaging habits and repeatedly attracting negativity into their life. Carolyn's voice is also pleasant to listen to. Unlike some audible narrators who can somewhat ruin the listening experience by talking too fast or with a breathy voice, or with unauthentic tone. Carolyn's voice shows how successfuly integrated and individuated she is. Brilliant book.
