Why “CBT“?

CBT proposes that your thoughts influence your behaviours and, therefore, determine the results that you return in life. As a trained Cognitive Behavioural Therapist – (and with a nod to its principles) – Colin Bailey Tarot hauls The Tarot out of the shadows of the occult, “fortune-telling” or “predicting the future“, to a modern, contemporary alignment with the philosophy that “the best way to predict your future is to create it” (Abraham Lincoln).

If dreams are “the answers to the questions that we haven’t yet learned to ask,” then perhaps the quintessential essence of The Tarot may be found within the pages of Benebell Wen’s “Holistic Tarot”, in which Wen writes that The Tarot “tells you exactly what you know, but have not yet permitted your conscious mind to confront. It is about accessing the unconscious, the same theory behind psychoanalysis and modern day psychology.” The Tarot – as an intuitive tool – empowers you to make better-informed choices to “create your future” through your own free will. “The future depends on what you do today” (Mahatma Gandhi.)

“Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to add it to a fruit salad.” A typical Tarot reading will interpret the literal meanings of the cards. A truly transformative Tarot experience will begin with the interpretation of the cards, and will unfurl – through the union of wisdom and intuition – to inspire a deep and lasting transformation. A deeply impactful Tarot reading is essentially a two-way street; the narration of your story through the language of the cards, which, like a mystical dance, will ebb and flow between you and the Tarot master. Your story – your potential – is truly infinite, and yet remains unread and unwritten; perhaps why Richard Knight describes The Tarot as “the world’s greatest life coaching tool…”
