Recently, tarot cards have appeared not only in the arsenal of fortune-tellers and online tarot sites but also in the offices of psychotherapists. Why do certified therapists need such an unusual tool and how can tarot cards be used in psychotherapy?
It turns out that any person has an innate ability to find the answers he needs! The fact is that we usually try to solve all our problems “in a reasonable way.” But thinking logically, it is rather difficult to move forward, because it is our mind (with its attitudes, prejudices, fears) that sometimes drives us into a dead end.
Your mind is powerless to solve a problem that you have never solved before since for it this is uncharted territory. And any of his advice will unwittingly lead you back to where you started. This means that in order to receive truly valuable advice that will change your life, you need to turn off your mind. Then your “clairvoyant” subconscious will turn on.
And here tarot cards come to the rescue. They distract and occupy your mind, allowing the subconscious to show its unique capabilities and give you valuable information. Therefore, tarot cards are used not only to predict the future but also for meditation, the development of intuition, and psychotherapy. This “phenomenon” is called “tarot therapy”.
Mastering the art of tarot interpretation is not easy. Just buying a deck of cards is not enough. You need at least one good manual that deciphers the meaning of all 78 arcana, as well as tells about the basic layouts.
There are a lot of tarot varieties! But you need to choose your deck of cards based on intuition. In order for the information to go as it should, and for the subconscious mind to easily decipher the layouts, it is necessary that you really like the deck of cards.
Tarot cards are not read literally. For example, the ominous death card does not necessarily mean physical death. It can be a very abrupt change, the end of the current state of affairs, and in a certain scenario, the card can even carry a positive meaning.
Tarot therapy
The more you practice, the easier it will be for you to interpret your present, and future. The main thing is that tarot can give unexpected and useful advice on how to avoid something or get what you want.
But if you are too lazy to understand and study all the wisdom of tarot cards yourself, then you can turn to professionals for help. Now there are more and more tarot therapists who use tarot cards in psychotherapeutic sessions.
If you decide on a tarot therapy session, be careful when choosing a specialist. It is better to go to a trusted person on the recommendation of friends.
However, there is a very simple way to distinguish a professional from a fraudster. During the session, a professional will always emphasize that your life and your future are the results of your personal choice.
And that you always have this choice! Even in tarot textbooks, they write: the cards show what can or is ready to happen, but in most layouts, there will certainly be a card that will tell you how to avoid this.
Another good psychotherapist who deals with tarot therapy will help you take responsibility for what is happening to you and tell you how to solve the problem yourself.
And the fraudster will rather talk about damage, generic curse, intrigues of competitors, etc., and will certainly offer to help get rid of all this for a tidy sum.
In a word, be vigilant and remember that your fate is still in your hands! And it depends on you, not on the cards!
