My innovative practice of Tarotpy® (tarot therapy) incorporates similar principles as hypnotherapy and produces comparable benefits.  I use tarot therapy to stimulate imagination that may be otherwise blocked, for example, with individuals who do not remember dreams or whose doorway into their unconscious appears to be locked, often due to depression or trauma. This method of working with imagery has great regenerative power. As the image comes alive with a sense of meaning, it vivifies the client’s unconscious and brings nuanced colors out from a darkened state of mind. 

In 1983, I entered a master’s program for marriage and family therapy with a tarot deck tucked into one pocket, a book of the I Ching in the other. I did not study the tarot tradition or symbolism. Instead, I begin to experiment with applying psychotherapy – including family systems, hypnotherapy, and dreamwork – to playing with the cards. This work, which I came to call Tarotpy® (tarot therapy), evolved over nearly four decades as a highly effective and awe-inspiring method of psychotherapy.

When the ego is asleep, dreams open a window to our Soul and to Universal consciousness. Read on to learn more about the depth and breadth of intelligence that is available to us in dreams.
