Connor Beaton: 在亲密关系中，每个男人都不可避免地面临阴影的影响。这些阴影，包括我们的不安全感、过度反应和恐惧，常常在关系中显现，逐渐侵蚀和破坏关系的根基。我观察到，许多人不敢正视自己的阴影，但实际上，阴影并非怪物，而是我们拒绝承认或看到的自身面向。它可能包括我们拒绝接受的特质，如同情心、健康的愤怒或悲伤。这些被压抑的情感和特质，会通过投射在关系中显现，影响我们与伴侣的互动方式。我发现，我们对待伴侣的方式，实际上反映了我们对待自己无意识的方式。我们会将那些不愿面对的恐惧和不安全感投射到伴侣身上，导致关系出现问题。因此，我强调，阴影整合并非追求完美，而是为了回归完整。通过觉察、情绪调节、对话和承担责任，我们可以逐渐整合阴影，让它成为我们完整自我的一部分，从而建立更健康、更和谐的关系。我鼓励大家勇敢地面对自己的阴影，通过实践我分享的方法，与内在的阴影对话，最终实现自我整合，并改善与伴侣的关系。
