I’m making this journal late. I started E7 almost a couple of weeks ago. And I’ve been feeling a lot of change.
Last week, I started doing shadow work to uncover my persona. And it has been a powerful experience shining the light on parts of me that I haven’t given attention to. It feels like it has sped up the healing process because I have been made aware of what needs to be healed.
And now for the past few days I’ve been feeling emotionally raw and vulnerable. It’s been difficult to go out and socialise with friends. Socialising doesn’t feel the same anymore. I’ve become more quiet and it’s hard to hold a conversation.
I’ve been isolating myself more. I would rather continue doing that until I feel more like myself. I want to continue doing shadow work but it’s been difficult to do. So instead I’ve been doing a lot of breathwork exercises and meditations.

Late is better than never! Breathing work is great for you. I do isolating too. It is about boundaries & keeping yourself safe. I would to know about shadow work. I never have done that.
Glad you are making progress on E7....
@
lotus I heavily isolate myself. I don't know if I'd recommend it to most people, but it's been good for me.
When I'm running E7, I too am not very interested in socializing. Most probably because I'm actually very focused on healing and myself, and thus am less interested/have less energy to socialize with others. Don't worry, though, this effect should lessen with time and progress.

Definitely worth checking out. You can take a test to uncover your personas. I've learned a lot about myself after taking this test:
