Discover the power of symbols and metaphors with a tarot guide that combines elements from psychology and behavioral science. Symbols are widely used in psychology, from analyzing fairytales to administering inkblot tests. Despite tarot's association with divination, its symbols can reveal hidden insights about our everyday lives and the human experience. In her book Tarot for Change, Jessica Dore shares her valuable knowledge on how to use tarot to gain self-awareness and to help you align with what truly matters.
Dore shows readers how to choose a deck, interpret images, and build a relationship with the cards. Going deeper, she shows how the mythic imagery of tarot supports evidence-based therapeutic concepts like mindfulness, acceptance, and compassion. Her reflections on each of the seventy-eight cards weave together ideas from the fields of psychology, behavioral science, spirituality, and old stories breathing new language into ancient wisdoms about what it means to be human.
This is as much a book for those who are new to tarot as it is for those who have worked with the cards for years. And it is a book for anyone interested in exploring what it means to experience joy, heartbreak, wonder, stagnation, grief, loneliness, and love. A book of secrets symbols and stories, Tarot for Change is a charm for remembering that our problems are not new we are never alone and whether we know it or not we are always in a process of change.
