Continuing Education Workshop Description:
Love and relationships are among the most common topics clients bring to therapy. Tarot offers a creative, accessible framework for exploring intimacy, self-awareness, desire, and relationship patterns while helping clients reconnect with their intuition and inner wisdom.
This continuing education workshop introduces clinicians to the ethical use of Tarot as a therapeutic tool. Participants will learn how Tarot can support clients in exploring emotions, boundaries, self-worth, and relational dynamics, particularly when discussing vulnerability, sexuality, shame, or uncertainty feels difficult.
Through guided meditations, experiential exercises, and discussion, participants will examine how Tarot imagery and symbolism can facilitate deeper emotional insight and self-reflection. Attendees will also create their own Tarot cards as metaphors for understanding intimacy, identity, and relationships, while exploring the erotic and relational themes embedded within traditional Tarot archetypes.
The workshop will explore Tarot’s connection to Jungian archetypes, its history, from the Rider-Waite-Smith deck to contemporary variations, and its application as a tool to help clients externalize and work through complex emotional experiences. Participants will leave with practical strategies for incorporating Tarot into clinical work to support self-exploration, healing, and empowered decision-making.
