This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, we realized that we’ve been doing a series unintentionally. So, we decided to start doing it on purpose.

In our episode last week, we started talking about the idea of cognitive distortions - which are habitual thought patterns that people commonly fall into that distort reality. There are a ton of different cognitive distortions that we as therapists can identify, including: black and white thinking, generalizing, labeling, magical thinking, catastrophizing, personalizing, and mind reading.

We’ve already talked about catastrophizing in our episode “Dumpster Fire Season," and did an episode called “Magical Thinking.” This week, we decided to make this series official and tackle the congestive distortion of blaming.

We’ve all engaged in blaming behaviors - and honestly, we all probably will continue, at least a bit from time to time. But as soon as we pulled Rx Hermit and Judgment cards, we knew we were in for one hell of a conversation and we get real about how this shows up in our own lives.

Join us as we move though the Three of Swords and The Devil, spend time with Ace of Swords, both upright and try to find the balance between Queen of Swords and Queen of Cups.
