What is Trauma Informed Tarot?

—

Trauma-informed is the approach that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and aims to intentionally shape how you interact with people so to not unintentionally cause harm or re-traumatization. The trauma-informed approach to tarot is one that prioritizes the client's safety, agency, and emotional well-being, acknowledging that trauma can impact the body, mind, and spirit. So instead of focusing on prediction, trauma-informed tarot, within The Reflection Room, practices using the cards as a reflective mirror to help individuals process experiences, reclaim personal power, and build self-trust. A reading with a tarot reader is not a replacement for professional/clinical mental health care. As a reader, I acknowledge that past trauma might be a root cause of current blocks, but I do not attempt to help you "process," or "heal," that trauma or diagnose clinical conditions.
