Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: In Israel, Dr. Ofra Ayalon has developed the Therapy Cards Reading (TCR) technique to help people work through trauma with the aid of the images on the cards. TCR functions by ‘interpreting a card image as a visual metaphor referring to the person’s life issues. But unlike divination or Tarot reading, an important principle of TCR is that the one who holds the card holds the message. There are no fixed interpretations for the cards, no professional ‘reader’ who interprets them for you. Instead, a guide or a partner is there to help you focus on an issue, and explore what the image means for you.’ 17 In my experience, the most helpful tarot readings are those done in in a manner similar to TCR: the reader serves as a guide to help the querent focus on the issues reflected in the cards and to understand what they mean in his or her life.
