The insurgence of the shadow is part of a corrective effort made by the Self to bring the personality back into balance.

...achieving the freedom to feel one's own reality is a necessary step toward healing the inner split. - James Hollis. 

The appointment with oneself also means going back and picking up what was left behind: the joie de vivre, the untapped talent, the hopes of the child.

If one could see one's own psyche as a mosaic, one would not be able to count, let alone live, all the pieces, but each one affirmed heals and rewards the wounded soul.  - James Hollis. 

“For the hero, fear is a challenge and a task, because only boldness can deliver from fear. And if the risk is not taken, the meaning of life is somehow violated, and the whole future is condemned to hopeless staleness, to a drab grey lit only by will-o’-the-wisps.”
