Dose of Depth

This is Dose of Depth podcast. I’m your host, Deborah Lukovich, and I invite you to be curious about your unique experience of being human. In this podcast, we’ll explore the deeper meaning of ordinary life experiences through conversation, stories, and education. You might have a serious ah-ha moment, or you might be amused by the movie your life seems to be imitating, or you might just be entertained by one of my awkward stories. I’m hoping you’ll become more aware of those moments when a deeper part of you is prompting you to see things differently and maybe even go a new direction. So, let’s get started. Deborah 

  1. Dream: Riding a Unicycle, Walking Arm & Arm w/My Ex-Husband, and more

    MAY 22

    Dream: Riding a Unicycle, Walking Arm & Arm w/My Ex-Husband, and more

    In this episode of my new series, Dr. Deborah's Dreams, I share how I found meaning in my dream about riding a unicycle, cringing at a guy doing pullups and admiring his shoulder muscles, and walking arm in arm down the sidewalk with my ex-husband. I bring some concepts to life, including projection, how images are not just visual, and how dreams are forward-looking, giving you clues about what's coming up in your life. Additionally, I suggest considering compensation, which means that what is happening in the dream needs to be expressed in your waking life.  Enjoy, and don't forget to subscribe to my channel and website.

    Exploring My Recurring Dream: Mercenaries Chase Me Through My Childhood Home

    This episode is part of my new series, Dr. Deborah's Dreams, in which I bring depth psychology concepts to life by exploring the hidden meanings in my dreams. This episode is about a recurring dream leading up to my midlife unraveling.  ALSO NEW: I'm part of a new dream app! Dreamigos is a place to go to record your dreams!

I seek examples of playing with the theory and see what it takes to achieve a successful outcome. Research also suggests that we learn best through stories. In my new series,  Here's a neuroscience perspective: The most common block for people is the belief that things appear in your dreams because they were present during the previous day. For example, I watched a movie about tornadoes, so that's why a big storm showed up in my dream. If that hypothesis were true, everything about your day would appear in your dreams. Your psyche grabs hold of an image for a reason, to get you to explore something. Since our minds are predisposed to stick with the status quo, our unconscious must be sneaky and often trick us into going on a journey to gain a new insight.  Enjoy this video!  Click here for the first episode of Dr. Deborah's Dreams.  Click here for my YouTube video: How to Explore Your Dreams.

In my new series, Dr. Deborah's Dreams, I bring depth psychology concepts to life by exploring the hidden meanings in my dreams.  If you need a neuroscience perspective, I'm happy to provide one. I could even do that in another video. But here's a head start. The most common block for people is the belief that things appear in your dreams because they were present during the previous day. For example, I watched a movie about tornadoes, so that's why a big storm showed up in my dream.  Think about that statement. It's ridiculous.

  6. YOU Are the Renaissance: A Chat with/Dr. Craig Chalquist, PhD, Author & Academic Program Director at National University

    APR 6

    YOU Are the Renaissance: A Chat with/Dr. Craig Chalquist, PhD, Author & Academic Program Director at National University

    Dr. Craig Chalquist is back again. He is a former psychotherapist and the current Academic Program Director of Consciousness, Psychology, and Transformation at National University. Craig has two PhDs, one in philosophy and religion and the other in depth psychology. Craig's viral TikTok video about The Edge People. Please subscribe, like, rate, and consider supporting me as a creator with a $3 monthly contribution.  A lot has happened since my last chat with Craig in July 2024. We turned down a path as a country, and no one will escape the consequences.  We’re all being squeezed and pressured, which can feel disorienting and, at the very least, terrifying. Some people will be hurt more than others–financially, psychologically, and emotionally. Some individuals are even in danger because they are targets of hate and violence and even illegal acts committed by our own government. We must do what we can to help, speak up, and not stand by in the face of evil.  But what else can we do during chaotic and dangerous times? How do we pull ourselves out of the psychological muck?  By pretending we’re in a completely different world, the one we desire, by imagining what doesn’t exist yet. Einstein said that he received the entire theory of relativity in a dream. His mind didn’t create it; it came to him when he was open. He received out of what transcended him, and his discoveries changed the world.  Are you open to the new paradigm that is already taking root, even if it isn’t visible yet?  It doesn’t matter what role you play–whether as a visionary, teacher, artist, scientist, philosopher, business owner, parent, healthcare worker, or restaurant server–your existence is an expression of divine intelligence. The universal forces are poised to flow through your unique experience of being human, bringing something new and better to the world.  And join Craig's Lamplighter Community.  So, let's get started ...

  7. Wellness As a Practice: A Chat with/Jennifer Van Rossum, Licensed Psychotherapist and Founder of 5Peaks Wellness

    Wellness As a Practice: A Chat with/Jennifer Van Rossum, Licensed Psychotherapist and Founder of 5Peaks Wellness

    In this episode, I have a chat with Jennifer Van Rossum. She is a Licensed Psychotherapist and founder of 5Peaks Life and Wellness, which is dedicated to expanding mental wellness beyond the walls of therapy.  Jennifer specializes in treating anxiety and building resilience. Her mission is to help people experience joy, hope, and meaning in the good and bad parts of life. She is also an inspiring example of a passion for an integrated approach to wellness, not shying away from the body and spiritual aspects, which I love.  Jennifer's unique approach feels fluid, like a dance between the feminine unconscious and masculine intellect. You won’t be surprised that just this week, she was voted for the second year in a row as the #1 mental health provider in her community, Lake County, Wisconsin.  There is one more thing that makes this a special conversation: Jennifer is one of my former clients. I’ll let her share her story about the nudge she felt to work with me personally and how Jungian approaches, which she wasn’t an expert in, benefited her personally and professionally.  So, let's get started ...
