About the author
Kelly Bramblett is the author of Shadow Work Journal and Guide for Beginners (Callisto, 2022) and The Complete Shadow Work Workbook & Journal (Callisto, 2024). Both books introduce shadow work, the practice of examining the unconscious mind's fears, shame, and difficult memories, as a structured self-help process built around journal prompts and exercises. The beginner's guide frames the practice as a path toward self-discovery and moving past personal limitations, while the later, expanded workbook adds further introspective activities aimed at supporting well-being and healing old wounds. Both are organized as workbooks rather than narrative reading, meant to be used actively over time rather than read straight through. They are aimed at readers new to shadow work who want an accessible, exercise-driven entry point into the practice, situating Bramblett within Callisto's line of accessible self-help and wellness workbooks.
