This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I’m unpacking why “just think positive” advice often backfires and offering a more sustainable approach rooted in both Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and tarot. Together, we’ll explore why lasting change doesn’t start with your thoughts, and why it actually starts with your actions.

I’ll 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. You’ll 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, we’ll explore:

  • The problem with the phrase “Change your thoughts, change your life”

  • 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 “Micro Wins & New Paths” spread to help you notice small glimmers and create change
