Tarot for Reparenting

We were inspired by last week’s episode of The Tarot Diagnosis with the idea for this week’s topic: Reparenting.



Both us share our surprise by the…colorful (yeah, let’s say colorful) history behind this idea, but nevertheless, it’s a concept we both use (in modified form) in our own therapy practices pretty frequently, and one that we think ties in beautifully with a personal tarot practice.



Here’s the basic idea: even the most wonderful parents in the world are bound to miss things or do things wrong. In our adult form, we can go back and take care of the younger parts of ourselves who have unmet needs. Cue the tarot cards.



Of course, we dive into all the cards you might expect: Six of Cups, The Emperor and The Empress, but take some unexpected turns along the way including a massive streak of Cups cards and Shannon modeling some great reparenting techniques on Luna to help her see Eight of Wands in a more positive light (yes, we did this before – but it takes a while for things to sink in).



What we discover is that reparenting is much like parenting itself. It never ends, it just evolves. And we were delighted to discover that is the essence of The Fool’s journey.



Join us as we talk though Reversed Two or Cups, Ten of Wands and The Hierophant, and hear some true confessions about our own lives along the way.
