Why approach your tarot journey from a trauma informed perspective? 💫
Approaching tarot from a trauma-informed perspective is crucial, especially when dealing with individuals who have PTSD and a persistent fear of another traumatic event.
This approach acknowledges the sensitivity and specific needs of those who have experienced trauma, ensuring their emotional and psychological safety. Here’s why this is particularly important with the Tower, Death, and Devil cards:
Tower Card: Often symbolizes sudden upheaval and chaos. For someone with PTSD, this can trigger memories of past traumatic events or amplify their fear of imminent catastrophe.
Death Card: Represents transformation and endings, which might be misinterpreted as literal death or loss, heightening anxiety and fear.
Devil Card: Associated with bo***ge, addiction, and negative influences, potentially evoking feelings of being trapped or controlled, which can resonate deeply with trauma survivors, or those from a strong religious background.
Reframing the Tower: Emphasize resilience and the opportunity for rebuilding stronger foundations after a collapse.
Reframing Death: Focus on the positive aspects of transformation and the potential for growth and renewal.
Reframing the Devil: Highlight the process of breaking free from unhealthy patterns and reclaiming personal power.
By reframing we take the fear and anxiety out of the message and use the tarot for it’s intended higher purpose.
