This YouTube video (creator: Elay Amitay Halevi) introduces the psychological idea of a two-part self: the unconscious "shadow self" (repressed, in the dark) and the conscious dominant identity the speaker calls the "protector" or protector identity (expressed traits one would describe when asked who they are). The chunk defines these terms and contrasts the shadow as hidden/repressed aspects with the protector as the expressed/identifying self.
