This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, the difficult topic of betrayal and the arduous process of learning to trust again is explored through the anchors of Strength and The Empress reversed.

I explore the pain and fear associated with infidelity, including abandonment wounds, rejection, and scarcity. The cards help guide me towards a discussion on repairing trust, what that can look like and how to be realistic about the non-linear process of repair after betrayal.

It seems like all the folks I admire get brought up in this episode with quotes from Esther Perel, Pema Chodron, Andrew Huberman, and others. I even get nerdy for a minute and talk about the neuroscience behind betrayal.

The Seven of Wands, Ace of Wands, and Four of Swords help us walk into the world of repair after a betrayal and keep us grounded, but also create space for hope for the future.

Decks used: Tarot Vintage and Tarot of The Abyss
