The Hidden Impact of Patriarchy (on Men and Women)

What if patriarchy isn't simply a social system... but a psychological wound that lives within all of us?In this episode, I explore the hidden ways patriarchal conditioning shapes our identities, relationships, sexuality, spirituality, and sense of self. Drawing from my own journey and themes from my memoir When Sex Meets God: A Midlife Unraveling, I discuss why healing isn't about blaming men or women. It's about integrating the parts of ourselves that have been split apart.I also reflect on a conversation with William Diplock of Gender Equity and Reconciliation International (GERI) about men's experience of the patriarchal wound and why compassion for both the feminine and masculine is essential for deeper relationships and genuine transformation. Link to interview: https://doseofdepth.buzzsprout.com/1917216/episodes/15120608-men-s-patriarchal-wound-a-chat-w-william-diplock-psychotherapist-trainer-for-gender-equity-reconciliation-international-geriLink to blog post: https://www.deborahlukovich.com/post/the-hidden-impact-how-does-patriarchy-harm-men-tooLink to my chat with black veteran Mark Ross, host of Speak Your Truth podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gaw2XlCxMUs&t=2115sIf you've ever felt caught between strength and vulnerability, achievement and authenticity, sexuality and spirituality, this episode may offer a new perspective.Topics include:• the patriarchal wound in women and men• Carl Jung and depth psychology• sexuality and spirituality• masculine and feminine integration• healing relationships• individuation and psychological growth• When Sex Meets God: A Midlife UnravelingDeborah Lukovich, PhD #DepthPsychology #CarlJung #Patriarchy #MasculineAndFeminine #Relationships #Psychology #SelfDiscovery #Healing #MidlifeUnraveling #DoseOfDepthSupport the show
