Dose of Depth

This episode is part of my new series, Dr. Deborah's Dreams, where I bring depth psychology concepts to life by exploring the hidden meanings in my dreams. 

This episode is about a dream that made me cringe. Dr. Oz makes an appearance, along with the sense that Marjorie Taylor Greene played the role of troublemaker.

In this episode, I read one of my blog posts: Mini Me is Dead! A Client Tale About When Liberation Overcomes Anxiety. 

It delves into the struggle between the discomfort of someone’s current situation and the fear of making a change. Some argue that until the pain of staying in that situation outweighs the fear of breaking free, a person will remain, even if it’s dysfunctional and they yearn to escape. 

The post shares a client story...

In this episode, I read a blog post: The Power of Discontent: Transforming Your Life with the Depth of Wisdom Coaching Program. 

First, I'd like to set some larger context. 

Is your psycho/spiritual practice robust enough for these times?

Do you even have one?

Are you aware that your discontent, resistance, and agitation carry meaning?

Those twinges are how life nudges you to step up and become more of the person you are meant to b...

In this episode, I read a blog post I wrote the day before the Inauguration. I had planned to let the day pass quietly until one of my clients told me she desperately needed help countering her foreboding sense about the near future.

In this episode, I share how I explored and found meaning in four dreams representing pivotal points in my midlife unraveling and reconstruction.

It all started in 2013 when I journaled, "I can't live this way anymore."

Then Hermes the Trickster showed up seducing me with the promise that pursuing an MA/PhD in depth psychology would save my Soul. C.G. Jung became my spiritual teacher.

In ...

This guided meditation will help you explore anger and discover what it wants from you. Emotions are one way our unconscious tries to get us to explore something, turn it into an insight that would be useful right now, and prompt us to unfold into a future version of ourselves.

The idea for this guided meditation came from my work with a couple who wanted to increase intimacy in their relationship. After a joint session w...

In this episode, I read a recent blog post: Freaking Hermes! How Your Unconscious Tortures You into Action.  

“Freaking Hermes!” 

This is how one of my clients started a recent session. I laughed and told him this was a very good thing. 

He didn’t like that answer, but by the end of the session, he was ready to have a difficult and honest conversation with his wife.

Who is this Hermes character?

The Greek god Hermes, known as ...

Start by learning Jenn's three keys for touchless orgasm.
