10.24.2019 - By Root Lock Radio: A Tarot Podcast
In this episode, I will work to reframe the 8, 9, and 10 of swords cards. Although the imagery on these cards is dark and ominous, I view them as invitations to feel and heal. To explain this, I will draw on concepts from Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and the book 'It's Not Always Depression' by Hilary Jacobs Hendel to distinguish between inhibitory emotions and core emotions. I will then connect these concepts to the imagery in the 8-10 of swords cards. We will then turn to the 8-10 of cups cards to define the healing invitation of these challenging swords cards. Enjoy!
