Tarot decks, with their easy-to-understand symbolism, can be useful and cathartic when it comes to healing. As holistic therapies are increasing in popularity, a trend is arising with more people turning to tarot to help support their mental health. While therapeutic tarot is by no means a substitute for medication or working with a professional therapist or counselor, using tarot in an appropriate way can enhance therapy.

In this episode host Gabby talks to Steve Hounsome an Author, Healer, Psychic and Tutor at Tarot Therapy Ltd who offers Tarot and Psychic Readings, working from a healing, personal and spiritual development perspective.

Steve explains how the cards can hold up a mirror to reflect what is happening in his clients life, why he personally doesn’t agree with using the cards for ‘fortune telling’ and dispels a lot of the myths and skepticism surrounding the use of tarot. Steve also talks about how we can all develop our own psychic and intuitive abilities, gives an overview on the 22 Major and 56 Minor Arcana cards, and demonstrates how if we use therapeutic tarot in a safe, objective way it can help us navigate in our response to situations, circumstances and challenges we are facing.
