The power of the shadow self 

The benefits of confronting your shadow
"Going beyond the ego to become whole"
the development of self is a life process "knowing thyself" constantly integrating the shadow traits the ego tends to repress.
Keeping the ego in check balancing the psyche to find completeness could be a life process of self-discovery. The 'shadow self' holds all of ur unique unconscious traits it's your choice to be brave enough to face the "darkest" aspects of yourself.
From what I've learned and integrated as of now, sounds cliche but the level of self awareness developed through the journey of shadow work is worth the uncomfortableness of change :)
