	LAURIE GIANNOLA; Tarot Therapist, Social Worker "Amor Fati -- Love Your Fate, which is in fact your life." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche When attempting to explain the Tarot, it may be difficult to understand it as anything other than an instrument for divination, which is the traditional view. However, the Tarot, under the guidance of a therapist, is more than a tool for prediction. It becomes a means for reflection and self- exploration, creating a bridge to the unconscious and revealing the deeper meaning of our experiences. Through the Tarot, individuals have the ability to understand unhealthy patterns of behavior and rediscover meaning and purpose in their lives. Tarot Therapy is a process that helps to uncover the unconscious memories stored in the body that may have otherwise never come to the surface and helps bring the mind, body and spirit to wholeness to ultimately live more fully. Laurie Giannola is a licensed psychotherapist who has been studying the cards for almost ten years and reading for about six. The study is continuous but with every reading, she feels more connected to the cards and, as therapist, she feels an intense connection to humans. Somehow, the mystery of the tarot and modern therapy come together and there is much more to behold than "telling the future". Tarot Therapy is a means to facilitate spiritual, emotional and mental wellness to restore balance in your life and to make changes that are necessary to heal and grow.
