Confessions of a Tarot Reader
I'm Bex. I'm here to make Tarot a little less scary.
I'm giving you a personal, behind the scenes tour of what it's actually like to be a tarot reader.
I share with you what I'm thinking as a reader, what you can expect as a client, and how this whole tarot thing works in the first place!
Confession booth highlights this season:
- Why I refuse to answer Yes/No questions
- When my friends are also my clients, how we maintain boundaries
- My wierdest, woo-woo-est readings
- Chats with fellow tarot readers
- Actual readings
- Toxic clients, toxic readers
- Can I read your mind?
- What I'm thinking when you're back for a reading about your ex
- How you can find an accurate, reliable reader
- How to prepare for your very first tarot reading
- How often is too often for a reading
- How to tap into your own intuition and read for yourself
I'm so glad you're here.
Let's see what the cards have to tell YOU this season.
Confessions of a Tarot Reader
Tarot and Therapy: Sisters, not Twins
This week Samantha Bickham, a licensed therapist, joins me to talk about the intersections between therapy and tarot.
Samantha is a licensed mental health counselor certified in EMDR, specialising in Eating Disorders & Maternal issues. Her practice is based in Winter Park, Florida, USA.

In this episode we discuss:
- Holding space for clients as a therapist and a tarot reader
- Tarot and Therapy as a playground
- What we do when clients want to outsource their decision-making to us
- Humanising tarot readers and therapists - we're human too!
- How tarot and therapy still remain taboo for some, and for different reasons
- How to support clients during times of crisis and change
- The potential of tarot to be used in therapy spaces, as a tool of reflection and a way to unlock new ways of discussing a situation or experience
- How some things are really best left to the experts (therapists!)
- We explore why some people may seek out one space rather than the other
- The importance of therapy and tarot being neutral, non-judgemental spaces for clients to unpack and explore their lives and experiences
I appreciate Samantha's expertise and good humour. There have been frequent references to therapy and tarot throughout the season of the podcast, so it was time we got a therpaist in the confession booth to get an expert POV!
