When Being Attracted to Someone Catches You Off Guard

  1. When Being Attracted to Someone Catches You Off Guard Deborah Lukovich, PhD 5:09

Ever find yourself attracted to someone you shouldn’t be attracted to
especially when you’re already in a relationship?

What if that attraction isn’t a threat…but a message?

In this short video, I explore how attraction often points to something your unconscious is asking you to develop, reclaim, or live more fully. Instead of acting on attraction or suppressing it, I suggest lingering with it and listening for what wants to be known.

I share personal examples of being intensely drawn to people who were unavailable and how, once I understood what I was really attracted to, their literal pull dissolved. What remained was desire for essence: creativity, authority, justice, devotion to purpose.

When we pursue those qualities in our own lives, attraction often transforms.

Attraction doesn’t always ask for action.

Sometimes it asks for integration.
