I'm a little uncertain of whether this was canon or just a bluff on his part, but the ultimate bad guy behind Persona 4 Arena suggests that severe emotional strain can revert someone's Persona back into their Shadow. I think it would definitely make an interesting plot point to have our characters face their Shadows, and this way you can do it even if you didn't go the route of facing your Shadow to get your Persona.
