Welcome to Tarot Psych — a show about using tarot as a psychological tool for self-exploration and personal transformation. I’m Dr. Laura, a trauma therapist, licensed psychologist, and creator of the Nourished Heart Oracle Deck. My mission is to make therapeutic concepts accessible through the practice of tarot.

Each episode, I’ll share a non-predictive, non-prescriptive approach to tarot as well as practical insights to help you explore your inner world. We’ll dive into topics like:

• Principles of tarot as a psychological tool—how this differs from traditional uses of tarot
• Using tarot for self-actualization and individuation   
• Overlaps between tarot and therapies like depth psychology, IFS, DBT, and more
• Using tarot cards for grounding and resource-building 

The first episode drops on Tuesday, January 20, 2026! 

Join me on this journey of self-discovery— your inner wisdom is waiting to be unlocked.
