This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, Iâm unpacking why âjust think positiveâ advice often backfires and offering a more sustainable approach rooted in both Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and tarot. Together, weâll explore why lasting change doesnât start with your thoughts, and why it actually starts with your actions.
Iâll walk you through how trauma wires the brain to anticipate harm, how DBT helps us hold two truths at once, and why micro-moments of safety and agency are the real building blocks of healing. Youâll learn how tarot can be more than just a tool for insight and how it can be a guide for new experiences.
Along the way, weâll explore:
The problem with the phrase âChange your thoughts, change your lifeâ
Why action leads and thoughts follow when it comes to rewiring your nervous system
How cards like The Fool, Eight of Pentacles, and Page of Cups can guide you into new behaviors
A 3-card âMicro Wins & New Pathsâ spread to help you notice small glimmers and create change
