Tarot is a guide and a system through which we can explore our inner and outer experiences. It’s not about fear-inducing, future-predicting, disempowering notions. Instead, Tarot is a profound tool for self-awareness and growth.
Fancy that?
Let me explain.
Imagine Tarot as a storyboard—a rich tapestry of images and narratives. By attuning to the story of a card, you can notice your responses, your felt sense, how your nervous system reacts, and how your core beliefs and old stories resurface. It invites you to observe your perceptions and triggers with curiosity, guiding you closer to your authentic self—the part of you that has been obscured by trauma imprints.
Tarot, in the present moment, allows us to explore these stories and images to find language and emotion for what feels familiar when we are stuck in freeze, flight, or dorsal shutdown. It helps us move from stagnation towards safety, connection, and belonging.
This practice reminds us that our human experience has been unfolding for generations & carries collective wisdom.
Tarot offers a way to reconnect with our bodies, inspiring trust and fostering a sense of grounding.
One of the profound truths about healing is that it begins when we deeply listen and accept where we and others are, without judgment. Tarot provides a lens through which we can see our unfolding stories, our shared human experience, reflected in the embodiment and behaviour of the pentacles, the emotions of the cups, the intellect of the swords, and the energy of the wands.
By consciously weaving these insights into our lives, we reclaim our aliveness. Tarot becomes a bridge to understanding internal family systems, childhood trauma, and patterns of shame, guilt, and fear. It shines a light on these hidden aspects, providing guidance and education for healing.
The responsibility lies with us to recognise ourselves in the cards & their stories.
By taking ownership of this awareness, we can use it to move towards better health and well-being.
So, how about seeing Tarot as the ultimate trauma therapist? One that is present, sensitively attuned, well-boundaried, and engaged with heartfelt empathy.
Tarot offers us a mirror and a guide, helping us to heal and embrace the fullness of our human experience.
