I once read something that Jung said and I paraphrase it to say that if you don't embrace your demons, they will bite you in the *ss.
I don't even know if I am talking about the same thing you guys are, but I like that saying. In other words, I have had no success denying aspects of myself that may be considered the dark side. If I bring them out in the open and shine some light on them, why, they are just part of who I am.
What am I babbling about? I don't know. Probably on the wrong board though.
