You Got a Trick!

In shadow work, “fear’s grip” represents the deeper fears that hold us back and keep us stuck in certain patterns or behaviors. These fears are often rooted in past experiences, traumas, or deeply ingrained beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. They may manifest as fear of failure, rejection, vulnerability, or even fear of success. Unlike the fleeting fears we play with during Halloween, these fears run deep and can have a powerful influence over our choices and actions.


Shadow work invites us to face these fears head-on, to understand where they come from, and how they’ve shaped us. By acknowledging “fear’s grip,” we begin the process of loosening it, reclaiming our power, and finding freedom from the limitations fear imposes. It’s about transforming fear from something that controls us into a tool for growth and understanding.


Whether through the playful lens of Halloween or the transformative practice of shadow work, confronting “fear’s grip” allows us to step out of the shadows and into a more courageous, authentic version of ourselves.

To get your trick, answer these questions:


Fear’s Grip: What is your biggest fear, and how does it hold you back in life? What steps can you take to face it?


Halloween thrives on fear—the thrill of haunted houses, spooky stories, and eerie decorations is all about experiencing fear in a controlled, safe, and often fun way. “Fear’s grip” symbolizes that exhilarating rush we seek out during this holiday when we allow ourselves to feel the chill of the unknown. It’s about confronting what scares us, whether it’s the supernatural, the darkness, or things that go bump in the night. Halloween gives us the opportunity to lean into our fears, knowing they’re temporary and that we can walk away feeling braver and more alive.


What’s something silly or small that you’re afraid of? How can you turn it into a fun challenge this Halloween?
