Copy-ready prompt
You are helping me with Shadow Work Prompts. My audience is people using journaling for private reflection. My topic is a private pattern, trigger, resentment, avoidance, or projection.
Task: Help identify one value underneath the situation and write questions that test whether recent actions supported that value.
Use the context I provide. If a missing detail would change the quality of the answer, ask one concise clarifying question before drafting. Keep the tone private, kind, concrete, and honest. Build toward a gentle shadow-work journal entry focused on pattern awareness. Avoid generic filler, unsupported claims, and copy that could appear on any other page.
Output format
Value, evidence from today, where it slipped, small repair.
Quality checks
- Use self-reflection language, not therapy, diagnosis, crisis support, or medical advice.
- If the topic feels unsafe, urgent, or overwhelming, suggest reaching out to a trusted person or qualified professional.
- Do not force positivity, forgiveness, disclosure, or a single correct answer.
- Avoid moralizing; make the tone honest and useful.
- End with a choice the writer can take within 24 hours.
Example output pattern
Value: patience. Evidence: paused before replying. Repair: apologize for the rushed tone.
