The Cards You're Dealt, with Theresa Reed
Fan favorite Theresa Reed, aka The Tarot Lady, is back on The Skeptical Shaman to dig into how to provide tarot readings and psychic support for clients dealing with the heavy stuff.
Theresa is the author of the new book The Cards You're Dealt: How to Deal When Life Gets Real, a look at how to navigate issues like grief, scarcity, pain, the burden of caretaking and more in a tarot setting. The true story? The vast majority of clients booking a tarot reading or psychic session are dealing with something intense, whether it be a recent layoff, a career crossroads, the loss of a loved one, a troubled romantic relationship, health issues, or other challenges.
In this episode, Rachel and Theresa dig into how to navigate such sensitive and intense topics with both professionalism and appropriate empathy, with a focused look at how to maintain boundaries and stick to your scope of services-- i.e. reading those damn cards!
The World of Woo is full of opportunities to overstep and/or step "in it", and this episode of The Skeptical Shaman podcast features two seasoned tarot pros sharing their best practices and lessons learned from reading for thousands of clients from all over the world. If you're a tarot card practitioner, thinking of becoming one, or are building your own "Woo business", this episode really digs into the kind of brass tacks that can make or break a spiritual practice-- and your relationships with your clients!
