The Gothic Descent

Unburying the forgotten past

Keys and Flowers- Wix  (2)_edited_edited.png

Welcome to The Gothic Psyche School of Thought, a descent into the layers of the self, where we recover the parts of our history, our psyche, and our inner world that have been buried, silenced, or exiled.

This page is your roadmap: A guide to help you begin your journey with clarity, depth, and direction.

What This School of Thought Is About

Here, you will explore a psychology capable of integrating:

  • The unconscious and its symbols

  • The Gothic as a language of the psyche

  • Death and transition as portals of meaning

  • The Shadow and the forgotten parts of the Self

  • Histories, experiences, and voices erased by rationalism

  • Neurodivergence, creativity, spiritual sensitivity, and intuition

This is not mainstream psychology. It is a descent, it is a return, to the depth we lost.

Start Here: The Foundational Essay

Before you explore the rest, begin with the text that explains the core idea of this entire project:

We Live Fragmented
Recover a psychology that embraces all of you, including the shadow

This essay reveals:

  • How Western psychology became incomplete.

  • The parts of ourselves that had to be sacrificed to keep the system working.

  • Why so many of us feel disconnected, misunderstood, or “too much.”

It traces a forgotten history, from philosophy to early psychology, from Gothic symbolism to neurodivergence, to illuminate a path toward a more integrated understanding of who we are.

Why this matters:

  1. The current educational system is obsolete

  2. People's real needs are starting to clash with the old structures

  3. To build a better world, we need to learn from our past mistakes, not replicate them.

  4. Mental care is still inaccessible to many, and socially stigmatising 

After the Essay: Choose Your Path

Once you finish We Live Fragmented, you may want to go deeper you want to continue the journey by taking the following paths:

Here are the paths available inside The Gothic Psyche School of Thought:

1. Explore Through Video: The Gothic Descent

If you want to begin visually and intuitively:


Start with my channel, The Gothic Descent, where I explore Gothic Psychology, the forgotten language of the soul found in Gothic literature, Jungian thought, and the mysteries of the unconscious. This channel is a journey into shadows, archetypes, and personal myths: a descent into the parts of ourselves modern life often ignores.

→ Watch analyses, reflections, and symbolic deep dives that complement everything you read here.

2. Read the Blog: Long-Form Explorations

If you prefer depth and contemplation:
My blog dives into motherhood, death, Gothic archetypes, trauma, symbols, and the personal experiences that shape this project.

→ These essays expand the ideas in “We Live Fragmented,” showing how fragmentation appears in real life.

3. Join the Research Group

If you want community, dialogue, and shared inquiry, Our Research Group is where we explore Jung, synchronicity, dreams, Gothic literature, death studies, and the symbolic imagination together.

→ A space for thinkers, creatives, and seekers of the unconscious.

4. Take the Course: Exploring The Gothic Psyche 

If you want structure and a transformative journey, my course is where Gothic literature becomes a map for self-understanding.
You will be able to explore archetypes, dreams, fear, and death as psychological gateways.

→ A safe container for the work that requires time, introspection, and depth.

5. Private Sessions: Individual Inner Work

If you feel called to personal guidance, I offer 1:1 sessions where we work with dreams, shadow material, symbols, the psyche, and the themes of death and transition.

→ For those who want to explore their inner worlds with support.
