  • The Culmination of Suffering: An Analysis of the Ten of Swords
    Sep 1 2024

    This week on ⁠The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast⁠, I am analyzing the symbolism of the Ten of Swords, focusing on its representation of fear, judgment, and self-sabotage.

    I explore how this card encapsulates the culmination of suffering and defeat, not only from external forces but often from our own internalized fears. This episode looks at self-sabotage behaviors driven by the dread of being perceived or judged, how that prevents us from reaching our true potential and how we can shift to begin uncovering deeper truths about our lives and relationships.

    Throughout this episode, I pull the Page of Pentacles, Knight of Wands, Four of Pentacles, and Two of Cups to help expand the discussion. I also spend time touching on Carl Jung’s theories on the shadow, the importance of parts work through Internal Family Systems (IFS), and the universal experience of projection.

  • The Value of Neutrality in Tarot
    Aug 18 2024

    This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I am exploring a concept that has been infiltrating several of my therapy sessions this past month - the idea of neutrality.


    We can sometimes find ourselves emotionally charged when confronted with challenging cards like The Tower, Three of Swords, or The Emperor. These immediate reactions can cloud our judgment and hinder the insightful guidance that tarot offers.


    So, I explore the concept of value neutrality, a term rooted in research ethics, and how it applies to everyday life and practices like tarot. By maintaining impartiality and avoiding bias, we create space to interpret tarot beyond the surface-level knee-jerk reaction. This approach allows for a more balanced understanding, transforming fear and anxiety into opportunities for growth and self-discovery.


    Through real-life examples and psychological frameworks such as Internal Family Systems and shadow work, I illustrate how neutrality enables us to confront and integrate the parts of ourselves we often suppress or project onto others.


    By stepping into a neutral stance, we not only enhance the depth and clarity of our tarot readings but also foster emotional regulation and resilience. This practice encourages curiosity over judgment, enabling us to ask pivotal questions that unravel deeper truths about our lives and relationships.
