The concept of 'shadow self' is primarily used in psychological, therapeutic, and self-help contexts in both English-speaking countries and Brazil. It has gained popularity through Jungian psychology, personal development literature, and modern wellness culture. In Brazil, particularly in psychological and spiritual communities, the term 'eu sombra' is increasingly used alongside the English phrase in contemporary discussions about mental health and personal growth.
