Tarot for unveiling trauma narratives and the unconscious self
Tarot can typically be associated with divination and predictive readings — but it is so much more than that.
Tarot is a powerful psychotherapeutic tool that activates the brain’s right hemisphere processes of the intuitive and somatic, rather than the logical or rational processes of the left hemisphere. This is particularly helpful for those who have experienced trauma, which affects our neurological ability to feel and make sense of experience. In working with tarot, deep layers of the unconscious are unveiled, offering a valuable pathway towards healing and development.
When used in creative applications, tarot can illuminate understanding of self through its universal imagery, archetypes, and metaphors.
In this course, we will move beyond tarot spreads and use tarot in creative ways to visualize trauma narratives, organizing principles, feelings, and experiences as a supportive partner in the healing process.
