The Gothic Psyche
School of Thought

Knowledge Lies in the Descent
Have you been hearing your whole life that you feel or think “too much”?
Do you feel like you don't quite fit in with your surroundings?
Are you neurodivergent (do you have autism, ADHD, high sensitivity, left-handedness, dyslexia, epilepsy, etc.) or do you feel an intense connection to the invisible world?
Do you always ask why things are the way they are?
Are you fascinated by horror, gothic themes, and the inexplicable?
Do you find it difficult to find people you can talk to about life and death without fear of judgment?
Then welcome to the School of Thought of the Gothic Psyche;
a space where you can explore both the external world and your inner world without being judged.
You don't need to be familiar with Gothic literature or Jungian analytical psychology to begin this symbolic journey of self-discovery.
You only need to want to learn to listen to what your most unconscious side wants to reveal to you.

The Body, Mind, and Soul as Gateways to Descent
At the School of the Gothic Psyche, we follow our own symbolic framework:
The Three Gates of Descent,
three paths where the personal and the mythical meet:
The Mind as an Archetypal Universe
Anxiety, overload, or neurodivergence are not mistakes. They are symbolic languages that reveal your inner architecture.
The Soul as a Daimonic Guide
Your longing and your fear are voices of the soul. Listening to them brings you back to your centre: not perfect, but authentic.

The Body as a Haunted House
Your body remembers. Pain, illness, and discomfort are not failures, but metaphors, locked rooms containing forgotten truths.
Each door invites you to descend with presence and soul, until you recover the voice you lost.
What You’ll Find in the Gothic Psyche School of Thought
A contemplative and transformative space for those who sense that their difference, pain, or shadow carries hidden meaning.
We're not here to repair you or offer quick fixes, but to guide you down the symbolic path to transform suffering into knowledge.
Through writings, videos, symbolic tools, and guided explorations, you will learn to:
-
Interpreting the symbolic language of the mind, body, and soul.
-
Transforming pain into meaning, without denying or simplifying it.
-
Reconnecting with personal myth and inner archetypes.
-
Dialoguing with symbols, images, and dreamscapes of the unconscious.
-
Navigating descent with clarity, responsibility, and self-compassion.
-
Living more authentically and soulfully, in resonance with your inner truth.
All of this is based on a Gothic, Jungian, mythopoetic, and Orphic approach.
No shortcuts. No false promises. Just a deep journey into the Gothic psyche: a school of thought for those who dare to descend.
Begin Here: Your Descent into the Gothic Psyche
Every transformative journey begins by reclaiming the parts of you that were once pushed into the shadows.
This is where your descent begins, not with a PDF you'll forget, but with an idea capable of changing how you understand your mind, your history, and your complexity.
Start with my Foundational Essay
We Live Fragmented: How to Recover an Inclusive Psychology That Doesn't Lose Its Shadow
We live in a divided world, where the mind is explained by isolated pieces: science without a soul, education without empathy, psychology without historical memory.
This article explores how modern fragmentation, neurodivergence ignored, history mutilated, and spirituality buried, has led us to lose touch with who we truly are.
Through philosophy, psychology, neurodivergence, art, and the metaphor of “Gothic psychology,” I analyse why we need to reclaim an integrated, human, and shadow-encompassing vision to feel whole again.
Two Ways to Continue Your Descent
Every descent begins with an invitation. At the Gothic Psyche School of Thought, there are two main paths:
The Collective Path — The Gothic Psyche Research Group
If the essay resonated deeply, the next step is joining my research circle:
-
We explore the unconscious through Gothic literature, myth, dreams, and archetypes.
-
We study how the psyche speaks through symbols.
-
We decode personal and collective shadow patterns.
-
We bring back the voices that history exiled.
This is where we think together, question together, and build a more inclusive psychology from experience.

WHO I AM AND WHY I CAN ACCOMPANY YOU
I am Alicia Domínguez, also known as Alice in Gothic Land.
I’m an English philologist with a Master’s in Jungian Psychology, and the creator of The Gothic Descent, a YouTube space where Gothic literature becomes a mirror for the soul.
But more than titles, my work arises from lived experience:
-
A body marked by grief and chronic illness.
-
A motherhood touched by death.
-
A life stitched together by forgotten myths that still pulse beneath the surface.
These are the roots of the Gothic Psyche School of Thought.
It is not an abstract philosophy, but a lived descent and a way of seeing suffering, shadow, and difference as thresholds to meaning.
Over the years, I’ve walked beside others as they ventured into their symbolic depths, helping them resurface with courage and a renewed connection to their story.
I’m not a therapist. I’m not a guru. I’m a woman halfway through life, wildly curious, deeply human, with a fierce belief that pain holds the key to transformation.
Because pain is not the end.
It is the threshold.
And crossing it changes everything.

My perspective on Gothic is integrative, and at BioConcept, I've found a sanctuary for my body, as well as a place to guide other souls.

If you're in Catalonia or near Martorell, this is one of the few (or perhaps the only) centres that combines mindful eating, natural therapies, nutritional counselling, and in-depth work to support you in everything you need.
