About this listen

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.

So glad I read this

This shifted my perspective so much about the things I don’t like in my life. What if I DO want them? What if I’m getting some enjoyment out of it? If having is evidence of wanting, then a part of me is getting off on it. This book made me feel seen.

Great Book

Sex sells! I think the book hypes up the sexual side of the emotional clearing process a little more than it is. In the end questions area she explains that you won’t necessarily be having orgasms every time you do this kind of shadow work. That being said so far working with this work I have felt immediate results. It’s not necessarily orgasmic release but just a loving acceptance of myself in a more complete way. I did feel sexual pleasure one time which is also great. I have been meditating for over 16 years and have attended many week long meditation retreats. I found this book as a great continuation to the Untethered Soul by Michael Singer and also a great reference to other helpful works. It’s another piece of the puzzle that helps complete other spiritual works. I’d recommend this book to anyone who is open to this kind of work.

Superb!

Well worth a listen. I'm excited to see where I can go with this technique that is so radically different from most self help books.

A must read for anyone serious about helping themselves

This is not your typical feel good self help book.

This is a deep and counterintuitive approach that has helped me tremendously.

Go light on the details and hard on the concepts.
