Shadow Work After Dark
Welcome! I’m Jaclyn Proper, a Jungian Depth Coach, Educator, Explorer, Underworld Doula, Artist & human doing my best on Earth. This channel is about what it means to be an explorer of shadow and self. We dive into shadow work, eroticism, spiritual psychology, kink, neurodivergence, sexuality, travel, and authentic living through the lens of my personal journey and Jungian psychology. If you’re an unconventional soul, queer, kinky, neurospicy, or simply shadow-curious, you’ll find lighthearted yet no-nonsense conversations here to help you embrace your edges, and uncover the truth of who you are.
Shadow Work After Dark
Why You Keep Getting Ghosted (It's Not What You Think)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you keep getting ghosted, this video is for you — and it's probably not the answer you're expecting.
In this episode, I'm breaking down the pattern of being pursued, falling for someone, and then watching them disappear — from a depth psychology and Jungian perspective. Because ghosting isn't just bad luck, and it isn't just "men being men" or "women being women." It's a message from your unconscious mind.
I share my own experience with this exact pattern, how it connects to childhood abandonment trauma, and why our psyche keeps recreating the same emotional architecture — even when we consciously want something completely different. We also get into repetition compulsion, projection, shadow work, and the mirror principle.
In this video:
- Why your psyche recruits people who will ghost you (and what it's trying to heal)
- The role of your earliest attachment experiences in your adult relationships
- Why you might be more emotionally unavailable than you think
- How your shadow plays out in the people you attract
- Reflection questions to map this pattern in your own life
- A guided Jungian active imagination visualization to access deeper wisdom around love and connection
This isn't about blame — yours or theirs. It's about recognizing that you are a co-creator of your relational patterns, which means you actually have the power to change them.
