Klappentext

THE THERAPEUTIC TAROT A Path to Purpose, Power, and Practice An Integrative Framework for Reflection, Growth, Healing, and Transformation PAPERBACK BLACK & WHITE EDITION |Practical, accessible, affordable-the ideal choice for study, reference, note-taking, and everyday use. Why choose the Paperback Black & White Edition? Designed for readers who prioritize content, learning, and practical application, this edition contains the complete Therapeutic Tarot framework in an affordable and highly functional format. Perfect for students, helping professionals, peer specialists, coaches, educators, and everyday readers, it provides full access to every interpretation, exercise, worksheet, framework, and reference tool included in the book. The Therapeutic Tarot is a trauma-informed, inclusive, non-pathologizing, and evidence-informed guide that reimagines Tarot as a tool for reflection, growth, recovery, meaning-making, and empowered action. This is not a fortune-telling manual, nor does it require any particular spiritual, religious, or metaphysical belief system. The cards are approached as tools for reflection, dialogue, and self-discovery rather than sources of supernatural authority. Drawing from DBT, ACT, CBT, MBCT, Narrative Therapy, Healing Centered Engagement (HCE), strengths-based and recovery-oriented practice, harm reduction, trauma-informed care, and contemporary behavioral health principles, this book bridges symbolic wisdom with practical tools for real-world growth and change. Recovery is understood broadly-not only as recovery from addiction, trauma, or mental health challenges, but also from shame, disconnection, limiting beliefs, harmful narratives, grief, loss, and the many experiences that can diminish our sense of agency, belonging, and purpose. Inside you'll find: Therapeutic upright and reversed interpretations for all 78 Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot cards Integrations of DBT, ACT, CBT, MBCT, Narrative Therapy, and Healing Centered Engagement Guided inquiries, journal prompts, worksheets, and therapeutic dialogue tools Applications for emotional regulation, resilience, identity development, psychological flexibility, recovery, meaning-making, and personal growth Guidance for therapists, counselors, social workers, peer specialists, coaches, educators, and facilitators Ethical guidance for responsible professional use Inclusive, Queer-affirming, BIPOC-affirming, disability-affirming, and justice-oriented interpretations Therapeutic spreads, facilitation tools, and structured reflection exercises A comprehensive therapeutic field guide connecting cards with psychological concepts, therapeutic modalities, developmental themes, recovery principles, and personal growth practices An expanded glossary, reference materials, and detailed index No prior Tarot experience is required. Whether you're new to the cards, a seasoned reader, a helping professional, or simply someone seeking greater self-understanding, the framework is designed to support meaningful engagement at every level of experience. Whether you're a clinician seeking innovative tools, an educator exploring experiential learning, a coach facilitating growth, a peer specialist supporting recovery, or a seeker looking for structure without dogma, The Therapeutic Tarot offers a practical path toward deeper reflection, greater agency, and meaningful transformation. The power isn't in the cards. It's in the person holding them.
