Deborah Lukovich, PhD Depth Psychology Coach, Author, Podcaster & Blogger

Deborah Lukovich, PhD, is a depth psychology coach, author, blogger, and host of Dose of Depth podcast, all ways she works towards her mission to grow a movement of self-reflecting humans.

She holds a M.A. and PhD in Depth Psychology with a specialization in Jungian and Archetypal Studies. Through Coaching, writing, and conversation, Deborah is on a mission to empower people with a framework for self-reflection focused on learning the language of the unconscious, through which the Soul reveals clues about our deepest desires.

She describes herself as an accidentally funny, awkward depth psychology nerd who is addicted to finding meaning in ordinary life events, and over-shares to encourage others to explore the deeper meaning of their lives.

Her most recent book Your Soul is Talking. Are You Listening? 5 Steps to Uncovering Your Hidden Purpose, combines her Jungian—based coaching framework for self-reflection with personal stories of midlife unraveling and healing wounds related to sexuality and spirituality.

What if the body isn’t something to fix—but something we’ve misunderstood? Even science agrees that most of who we are, what we think, what we do, and how we feel, is influenced by mysterious unconscious forces. Today, more people recognize that there is a connection between the mind, body, and a deeper part of us, but few realize that the body itself is a manifestation of the unconscious, not just in a personal way. Our bodies are also a manifestation of what is in the collective...

What if the body isn’t a problem to fix, but a message to understand? In this conversation, Dr. Deborah Lukovich sits down with clinical psychologist Dr. Gretchen Ames to explore the body through a depth psychology lens—where symptoms are not isolated issues, but expressions of the whole person shaped by culture, history, and the unconscious.Some of the books mentioned during our chat: Memories, Dreams, Reflections, C.G.

Have you ever felt like the version of you that once worked… no longer does?Midlife unraveling rarely announces itself. It begins quietly, with a growing sense that something is off, even when your life still looks “successful” from the outside.The traits and patterns that once helped you navigate the world can start working against you. And instead of changing, many of us double down on what we’ve always done.So what’s really happening beneath the surface?In depth psychology, Carl Jung described parental complexes — unconscious patterns formed in childhood through our earliest rel…

What are your earliest childhood memories? Often, there's an invisible thread running through our lives, connecting various life events in ways we could never imagine at the time. Revisiting your earliest childhood memories can inspire appreciation for decisions you made that didn't make sense to others or even yourself at the time. In this brief episode, I share a pair of early childhood memories that helped explain my meandering approach to career decisions (from Chapter 2 of my memoir, When Sex Meets God: A Midlife Unraveling). Some might have labeled me a hacker as I went fro…

Ever find yourself attracted to someone you shouldn’t be attracted toespecially 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 pu…

Who gets to decide what’s right for you?We often hear the phrase “You are the highest authority for your own life,” but that raises a deeper question: who is the “you” that can actually be trusted?In this episode, I reflect on a talk by Alan Watts, in which he suggested that our five senses are always perceiving the past, while intuition, faith, and belief shape the future. Much of what guides us lives below conscious awareness, quietly influencing our choices, desires, and longings.I explore how the body itself can become a trustworthy guide; not as something to control or override,…
