Season 14, episode 375 reviews episode 116 with Dr. John Ratey, exploring how exercise and lifestyle shape brain health and learning. The episode highlights Naperville's Zero Hour PE case study, explains how physical activity boosts attention and academic performance, and introduces BDNF (brain-derived neurotropic factor) as “miracle grow” for the brain. Practical takeaways include exercising before challenging work or school, prioritizing low-glucose nutrition, using hormesis (fasting, intense exercise, sauna) to increase resilience, and improving sleep and stress management to support cognitive health. On today's episode #375, we review our 2021 interview with Dr. John Ratey and will learn: ✔ How physical activity boosts attention and academic performance to improve results at school or in the workplace. ✔ What should we all understand about BDNF (brain-derived neurotropic factor) also known as “miracle grow” for the brain. ✔ How to build a faster, stronger, more resilient brain with exercise, nutrition, and with understanding hormesis. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Episode 375: Featuring Dr. John Ratey For today's Episode 375, we continue with our review of past episodes as we make connections to prior learning with whatever it is that we are currently working on this year. I'll create a roadmap at the end of this season so this pathway will make sense to us (I hope!) as we piece together important parts of our success puzzle and begin to bring them to life. You'll notice that around the time of the pandemic, in 2020, our interviews took a turn towards health and wellness, and to stay on track, I created a framework of our Top 5 Health Staples on Episode 87[i], which eventually evolved into our Top 6 Health Staples. Today, we covering the first health staple of exercise, jumping to Episode 116[ii] on “The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain” with best-selling author Dr. John Ratey. Dr. Ratey is also an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and an internationally recognized expert in Neuropsychiatry. Dr. Ratey has published over 60 peer-reviewed articles and 11 books in 17 languages, including the groundbreaking ADHD “Driven to Distraction” series with Dr. Edward (Ned) Hallowell, MD. With the publication of “Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain,” Dr. Ratey established himself as one of the world's foremost authorities on the brain-fitness connection. His most recent book, “Go Wild,” explores how we can achieve optimal physical and mental health by getting in touch with our caveman roots and how we can “re-wild” our lives.
Laughter therapy reduces anxiety and increases life satisfaction, giving you a natural way to calm your mind and feel more fulfilled Spontaneous laughter lowers cortisol, your main stress hormone, by about one-third, protecting you from stress-related problems like weight gain, weakened immunity, and heart disease Studies show laughter therapy improves sleep, mood, and even reduces inflammation, making it a powerful tool for both mental and physical health Older adults who laugh more often are less likely to develop disability, depression, or insomnia, helping them stay independent and resilient You can use laughter like medicine by scheduling daily laughter sessions, sharing humor with others, and mixing structured approaches like laughter yoga with spontaneous laughter
Why are so many young people struggling with mental health? Abigail Shrier, Rob Henderson, and Brian Anderson explore the roots of the crisis and examine the roles played by mental health professionals, shifting parenting styles, the influence of schools, and social media. Their conversation underscores the value of authoritative parenting, the importance of setting high expectations, and the need for parents to take a more active role in their children's development within a culture increasingly shaped by therapeutic narratives.
Philosopher and bestselling author Alain de Botton invites us to completely rethink what success really means. This profound and therapeutic conversation explores how true high performance isn't about external achievement, but about realising your unique potential and finding peace within yourself.Alain challenges the obsession with being “special,” explaining why accepting our ordinariness can be the most liberating idea of all. He also discusses how envy can reveal our hidden potential, how we lose touch with our true selves by trying to please others, and why moments of crisis or even pain can be the body's search for balance.This is a deeply human exploration of ambition, self-worth, and acceptance, an invitation to define success on your own terms.Heights
Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 10-16-2025: Dr. Dawn explains the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology awarded to Shimon Sakaguchi, Mary Brunkow, and Fred Ramsdell for discovering T regulatory cells. Previously, medical teaching held that the thymus only eliminated self-attacking T cells, but Sakaguchi found that removing the thymus from newborn mice caused autoimmune disease, suggesting protective regulatory cells existed. He identified CD4+CD25+ cells that suppress inflammation and can convert other T cells. Brunkow and Ramsdell discovered the FOXP3 gene that controls these cells, linking mutations to severe autoimmune diseases like IPEX syndrome. Tissue-specific Tregs regulate metabolism in fat, maintain gut microbiome tolerance, promote wound healing in skin, and control muscle regeneration. Therapeutic applications include stopping type 1 diabetes, preventing organ rejection, and treating multiple sclerosis. An emailer asks about a study linking soft drinks to depression through gut bacteria changes. Dr. Dawn critiques the cohort association study for establishing only correlation, not causation, with a weak risk ratio of 1.1 representing just 10% increased association. She explains that bacteria can influence food cravings, making it unclear whether sodas change bacteria levels or bacteria drive soda consumption. Without Koch's postulates—isolating bacteria, growing them, and reproducing disease—the causal direction remains uncertain despite statistical significance. Dr. Dawn reads David Whyte's essay on injury as invitation to transformation, exploring how pain reveals vulnerability, changes identity, requires patience, and teaches compassion. She notes this perspective may come easier to men who reach midlife believing they control their bodies, while menstruation disabuses women of that illusion earlier. As a physician, she emphasizes the ego crisis when people transition from healthy to "person with disease," requiring identity restructuring that can shake foundations but also mature and strengthen individuals. A caller responds enthusiastically to the injury essay, citing quotes from André Gide, James Hillman, and Norman O. Brown about how illness opens doors to reality closed to healthy mindedness, how the soul sees through affliction, and how vulnerability is inherent to being human. Dr. Dawn agrees that many religions embrace wounds as paths to spiritual enlightenment and commits to deeper reflection on suffering's role in the human condition. Dr. Dawn discusses cognitive functional therapy for chronic back pain, describing firefighter Joe Lawrence who believed his spine was irreparably damaged until physical therapist Peter O'Sullivan challenged those beliefs. The therapy addresses psychological aspects by teaching that backs need movement, not protection, and that tensing muscles worsens pain. The three-step approach examines pain origins including emotional context, gradually reintroduces avoided activities while learning relaxation, and establishes healthy sleep and exercise routines. GLP-1 drug prices have dropped dramatically to $499 monthly at Costco due to compounding pharmacy competition. Dr. Dawn urges immunizations, noting studies show shingles vaccination reduces dementia risk by 20% over seven years, possibly by generating T regulatory cells that reduce brain inflammation. Natural experiments in England where vaccine rollout occurred at different times in different regions provided strong evidence. She explains that chickenpox vaccination in childhood prevents both chickenpox and future shingles. Even tetanus shots appear to lower dementia risk, suggesting vaccines activate immune responses that reduce chronic inflammation. She concludes with practical advice to reduce microplastic exposure by avoiding plastic cups and containers, especially with heat. Eight-year-old coffee makers contain twice the microplastics of six-month-old machines due to deterioration. She recommends ceramic cups, glass or metal kettles, removing food from plastic before cooking, and washing polyester clothing on low heat to minimize microplastic generation.

What does it really mean to see with the mind's eye?In this conversation, neurologist and consciousness researcher Professor Adam Zeman (Cognitive & Behavioural Neurologist, University of Exeter) joins Dr Tevin Naidu on Mind-Body Solution to explore the mysterious link between imagination, memory, and perception - and what happens when the mind's eye goes dark.Zeman coined the term aphantasia, the inability to form mental images, and has spent decades studying how imagination shapes our sense of self and consciousness. Together, we discuss:- The neuroscience of mental imagery and its vividness- What aphantasia and hyperphantasia reveal about the brain-mind interface- Imagination's evolutionary and social roles- How disorders of imagery illuminate the nature of consciousness- Why defining "inner experience" remains one of science's deepest puzzlesTIMESTAMPS:(00:00) - Introduction: Why imagination matters and the four big ideas(02:14) - What do we mean by “imagination”?

Filling all things… Journey to Reality Chapter Five: Sacramental Thinking St John 14: 1-7. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. St. Basil the Great (On the Holy Spirit). We understand the “way” to be the road to perfection, advancing in order step by step through the words of righteousness and the illumination of knowledge, always yearning for that which lies ahead and straining toward the last mile, until we reach that blessed end, the knowledge of God, with which the Lord blesses those who believe in him. For truly our Lord is a good way, a straight road with no confusing forks or turns, leading us directly to the Father. For “no one comes to the Father,” he says, “except through me.” Such is our way up to God through his Son. ON THE HOLY SPIRIT 8.18. “Modern, westernized people tend to think about the world from the starting point of physicality. The physical world, as we would say, is the primary reality… It is the objective, measurable world on which we can all agree.” Page 50 of 142. The assumption of materialists is that if a thing cannot be measured, then it is unprovable, a matter of opinion, AND of lesser importance. The natural world is everyone's baseline. Religious or spiritual people have an added category, that of the “supernatural,” but as long as we operate in the material paradigm, these are the things that BY DEFINITION cannot be measured and are thus kind of optional. Belief then becomes a way to stand up and assert that there are some things that are important that cannot be measured directly. “I believe…” is our assertion that there is a supernatural reality and that it is well-ordered and that there are supernatural outcomes that should matter to us: · Forgiveness of sins · Sacramental marriage (vs. an agreement or contract) · Eternal life When we talk about religion, it is often in materialist terms. · What good is it (for health, family, society)? · What does it cost in terms of time and money? · Does its system make sense? E.g. Juridical vs. Therapeutic vs. Holistic Healing But this worldview can only take us so far. It “misses the mark” when it comes to understanding the world and how it works. An irony: the materialist world may allow us to see things objectively, but not truly. I am playing with words here, but it points to the difficulty. Objectivity refers to the quality of being unbiased and fair, making decisions based solely on facts rather than personal feelings or beliefs. It is often considered essential in fields like science and journalism to ensure accurate and impartial reporting or analysis. Objects have attributes that can be measured. As a social scientist, I was taught that we have a poor understanding of something if we cannot put a number to it and that if we took enough measurements, we could explain everything. Omniscience – or godhood – then is a matter of having enough data and the computing power to run the numbers. Omnipotence involves the ability to manipulate everything towards a desired outcome. This is no longer just the stuff of science fiction. This is another one of those areas where claims are being made for technology that should not be made. We can rightly question double-predestination, but what will keep us from doing the same thing as we grow in material understanding and power? A step in the right direction is to recognize that there is a moral dimension to the world. But the problem is that it cannot be measured. Outcomes can be measured, but their values can only be asserted. This is why both secular philosophers like Nichze and religious ones like C.S. Lewis and Fr. Seraphim Rose claim that this kind of worldview leads to nihilism and the assertion of will. Religious and spiritual people who believe in the supernatural will then say that God (or spirit, or Arche) is the solution to this problem. Again, this gets us heading in a good direction, but it usually keeps within the materialist worldview. Again, which system makes sense, agrees with what I prefer, has the best agape meal, and so on. But it really is strange to come at God in this manner. All we are doing is taking the “God of the Gaps” concept and applying to morality and value. This is like looking at the world through a two-dimensional, black and white filter. We can do better. Let's see how our ancestors did it. They did not see the natural and supernatural as separate. It was just “the world.” Some things were visible and some things were invisible. Just as we cannot see radiation, atoms, and gravity know them to be part of reality, so it was with our ancestors for the invisible things. “This idea that the physical and the spiritual are not seperable has a few important implications. If we say that the physical and the spiritual have to go together, then what we're really saying is that there is a spiritual quality to everything physical, and a physical quality to everything spiritual. This means, among other things, that physical objects and actions can have intrinsic meaning.” (Page 53 of 142) The example of two bisecting lines. A Cross. There is a story behind it, and that gives it subjective meaning, but there is more to it. The things that are described in that story create meaning. The cross is part of something primal and real it has “cosmic significance” (ibid). And this is true regardless of whether people recognize it as such (example of vampires). Another way of describing this older view is as “enchanted” (vs. disenchanted). Another way is that we are part of a grand story. Stories are excellent at conveying meaning. This is why some stories are said to be true even though they are fiction. This is complete nonsense to the materialist mind. What about objectivity? Isn't this view biased? Isn't it subjective? It certainly is biased. But it is only subjective because our perception of the world is incomplete and often wrong, and we really do assert our wills to create and share meaning. We have to go beyond thinking about things primarily as either objective – meaning things that can be measured, or subjective – meaning things that cannot. A refresher on objective vs. subjective: Pizza. · Objectively, it has bread, sauce, and topics of a certain type and consistency and spices that affect the olfactory system in certain measurable ways. This is seen as what the pizza IS. · Subjectively, we prefer certain kinds of bread, sauce, topics, and spices. This is our opinion about the pizza. · We can argue about what belongs on a pizza or how it should be prepared, but it's easy to come to an agreement on what the pizza actually is. The problem with this kind of a dichotomy is that it turns value and meaning into a matter of opinion and not only does that lead to disaster – it doesn't describe the way the world really is. Why disaster? Disagreeing about pizza can lead to arguments and bringing home a pizza one person sees as valuable and another doesn't may lead to temper tantrums; but what if the thing being described is something like human life or someone else's freedom? Why is it wrong? Because everything has intrinsic value. And this is because it has being through it's connection to the source of value – the Arche.' Personal Knowledge Another step in getting us to where we need to go is to look at knowledge that is gained personally, from the inside. But even in relationships, we miss the mark. Vices and virtues affect how well we can know things and people. An angry person is going to notice – and even create – things in people and their behaviors that stoke their anger. Humility allows the person to be open to the truth. Vice clouds our vision. “The practice of virtue is, therefore, an essential element in seeking knowledge and the ultimate truth of things. Why? Because reality is participatory. Or, to put it more simply, if you're a bad person, you're also going to be a bad friend. If you're jealous, resentful, petty, or arrogant, your going to have a hard time building a relationship with anyone to the extent that those impulses control your life. To have better relationships, you have to be a better person. And if Truth itself is a Person, you're only going to be able to know Truth to the extent that you're able to have a relationship with Him.” (Page 61 of 142) In summary: the physical and spiritual world are inseparable. This gives everything meaning. We learn that meaning through participation; this involves both intellectual and moral growth. How can this work? Tune in next week! Some questions: · How is personal knowledge more than just data? · How do we keep from pretending our subjective opinions are illumined? · How does anyone know how clean their mirror is or how true their sight is?

This two-part video series provides a deep historical analysis of Moralistic Therapeutic Deism (MTD), tracing its ingredients from 19th-century New England intellectual and social revolutions to its status as America's de facto civic religion. We argue that MTD collapsed when the sexual and moral revolutions forced a devastating fracture between its Christian heritage and its core principles of self-actualization and benevolence, leading to the polarized political landscape of today.Moralist Therapeutic Deism Part 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eHYMzanOvs&t=4679s @triggerpod @InterestingTimesNYT @JonathanPageau @PaulVanderKlay 00:00:00 - Introduction and Recap00:10:07 - MTD, Chicago, and Obama00:13:00 - Cornell as Microcosm00:25:15 - Tim Keller on programatic secularism00:35:55 - Mainline Christianity00:37:45 - Wokeness and MTD00:47:05 - MTD and Partisanship00:49:20 - Arena vs Agent00:51:00 - Donald Trump 00:56:15 - Nationalism vs Globalism01:03:40 - Who killed MTD?01:05:55 - Competing Arenas01:08:25 - The future of Christian NationalismIn this video I mention:Aaron Renn, Abraham Lincoln, Albert Baker, Alfred, Allen C.

In this Talk Dizzy to Me episode, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Dani Tolman, PT sit down with Dr. Mike Studer, DPT, MHS, NCS, CEEAA, CWT, CSST, CSRP, CBFP, FAPTA to unpack neuroplasticity—what it is, how it works, and how to apply it in vestibular rehabilitation. We cover dual tasking, prediction error, fear-avoidant vs. fear-adapted movement, motivational interviewing, and patient-directed dosage using the OPTIMAL theory of motor learning. Mike shares practical clinic and real-life examples (driving, grocery stores, cooking), mic-drop lines you'll quote to patients, and how to talk to insurers using objective measures.If busy visuals or movement bother you, consider listening on Apple Podcasts/Spotify.Neuroplasticity = learning. It's not just more pathways; it's stronger, faster, better-fed pathways that consolidate during sleep.Dose the meaningful. Intensity, repetitions, salience, and task specificity drive consolidation (“put a post-it on that memory”).Exposure works. Habituation/adaptation creates prediction error (“that wasn't as bad as I expected”), reinforcing change via dopamine.Fear shows up in movement. Beyond fear-avoidant behavior, watch for fear-adapted movement (reduced head turns, co-contraction, slow/over-intentional strategies).Dual tasking is two goals, not ‘think-and-move' toward one goal.

Is chronic pain really “in the body”… or in the brain's predictions about the body?Today on the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Jorge Esteves, PhD, DO—an osteopath, educator, and researcher whose work reframes low back pain, sciatica, and other MSK issues through the lens of predictive processing, active inference, and interoception. Dr. Esteves explains why pain is more than a physical signal: it's shaped by mood, memory, context, and environment—and how the right mix of smart touch, simple movement, precise language, and meaning can rewrite faulty predictions and dial down threat in the nervous system.We explore what he calls “smart touch”—the affective, well-timed, well-paced contact that improves therapeutic alliance, entrains breath and rhythm, and helps the brain feel safe enough to update its story about the spine. We also unpack fresh imaging work suggesting hands-on care can influence connectivity in pain and interoceptive hubs, including the insula—right where body-signal meaning is made. You'll leave with a 5-minute daily recalibration (breath cue + one gentle movement + one self-touch drill) to keep predictions aligned with reality—especially during a flare.What You'll LearnPain ≠ damage: Why back pain often persists due to over-protective predictions and how to nudge them toward safety.Smart touch, real change: How affective touch, pacing, and breath cues shift interoceptive processing and calm threat.Therapeutic alliance matters: The first 10 minutes that build trust—and the phrases clinicians should avoid because they raise threat.Brains on hands-on care: New imaging insights on how manual therapy may modulate brain connectivity in chronic low back pain.Learn More / Contact Dr. EstevesOfficial site: Prof Jorge EstevesGoogle Scholar (Atlântica University, Portugal): Google ScholarResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jorge-Esteves-3 ResearchGate(En)active Inference paper (open-access): FrontiersEmail (from CV): osteojorge@gmail.com Pro OsteoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-jorge-esteves-27371522/ Pro OsteoTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/JEsteves_osteo Pro OsteoWe are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

In this episode of Organically Blunt, we sit down with @thegardenofkaya to explore how cannabis became more than a plant—it became a mirror for his soul. Raised in small-town Hartland, NB, Kaya fell in love with this plant at just ten years old. What started as a childhood fascination soon evolved into a full-blown obsession with both its recreational joys and its powerful medicinal benefits. Overcoming personal struggles—from near-fatal overdoses to breaking into a notoriously tough industry—his passion never wavered.Now a professional horticulturalist, co-editor at HighMoon Magazine, and founder of 506 Grow Broz, Kaya is on a mission to teach therapeutic horticulture and cannabis therapeutics to anyone who wants to learn. We dive deep into:* How cannabis sparked his broader love for gardening and self-discovery* The science and soul behind “plants as mirrors” in therapeutic horticulture* Building a horticultural consulting company from the ground up* Real-world crop-record workflows, greenhouse setups, and SOPs for both cannabis and kitchen-garden productionWhether you're a seasoned grower or just cannabis-curious, Kaya's story will inspire you to look beyond the bud and see the transformative power in every seed.

Dan Cohen, President and Co-Founder of Adhere+, is advancing the role and function of remote therapeutic monitoring by asking patients a few questions every day through a smartphone app. Gathering this kind of data makes in-person visits with providers more productive and insightful. It helps providers manage chronic conditions and pain by using direct and indirect questions to gain a holistic view of the patient's overall well-being. This type of real-world data shows promise for enhancing clinical trials and powering AI-driven healthcare insights. Dan explains, "At its core, what we're doing is monitoring patients in between their visits with physicians. Now, I know a lot of your listeners have heard about telemedicine and telehealth, and sometimes they think they're the same thing, but they're not. Telemedicine is a synchronous communication where you'll be on your computer on a Zoom call with your doctor. That's telemedicine, where the physician is actually treating you as you would be in the office." "Telehealth is what happens in between physician meetings. It goes back to a very simple principle of medicine, something that physicians learn in the first two weeks of medical school. And that simple principle is the more often you touch a patient, the better the outcome is going to be. And in our telehealth approach using remote therapeutic monitoring, our physicians touch their patients every day for a brief few seconds to reinforce their care plan, to help the patients know that they're being treated, and for the patients to be able to act and react appropriately for their disease state." "The clinical questions are designed by clinicians around the country, and these questions change every day. They have normative ranges set in the background of those questions, and it really allows the physicians to drill down. We have default protocols, of course, to get practices started, and then physicians can titrate the questions to their needs. But if you think about the questions, it's the types of questions the physician is going to ask you when you're sitting in session with one another to try and find out what's happening." #AdHerePlus #RTM #RemoteTherapeuticMonitoring #PainAwarenessMonth #USPain #ChangingthePainEquation #ChronicPain #DigitalHealth adhereplus.com Download the transcript here

Send us a textWhat if one of the most powerful tools for slowing biological aging has been hiding in plain sight for decades?This week on The Daily Apple, Dr. Brad Younggren joins us to unpack therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and why it could be a game-changer for longevity. Dr. Younggren is an emergency medicine physician, U.S. Army combat veteran, and now CEO and co-founder of Circulate Health. Under his leadership, Circulate has completed more than a thousand treatments across 24 clinics and published data showing an average 2.6-year slowdown in biological aging.“Therapeutic plasma exchange isn't just for rare hospital cases anymore. We're learning it can lower inflammation, clear out harmful proteins, and even reduce microplastics — all things tied to how fast we age.” — Dr. Brad YounggrenWe talk about:What TPE actually is (and how it differs from a blood donation).Results from the Circulate Trial and why they matter.How plasma exchange impacts inflammation, senescent cells, and lipids.Early research on microplastics and cognitive decline.Why partnerships with clinics may be the fastest path to making longevity care more accessible.Dr. Younggren also shares his own journey from combat medicine to pioneering new frontiers in healthspan, and where he sees longevity breakthroughs heading in the next decade.

After a rejuvenating break in nature, I'm back…and tarot wasted no time in offering a message that couldn't be ignored. In this reflective episode of The Tarot Diagnosis, I share how three cards - The Devil, The Three of Swords, and The Lovers - kept showing up across multiple decks, pointing to a powerful arc about relational stuck-ness, emotional pain, and the freedom of conscious choice.We explore how The Devil archetype can represent cognitive distortions like all-or-nothing thinking and overgeneralization, which are those internal thought loops that keep us locked into outdated stories about ourselves or our partners. Then the Three of Swords becomes the bridge of clarity and discomfort when we realize just how much our thoughts have shaped our emotional experience. And The Lovers is where the healing begins: through reality-testing, reframing, and choosing a more balanced story.I also guide you through a practical, step-by-step therapeutic tarot exercise, using a real-life example I see in couples therapy all the time to show how tarot can help support emotional insight and mental flexibility. We walk through how each card pulled (the reversed Four of Pentacles, Three of Cups, and Four of Wands) helps us better understand our cognitive experience within our relationships.Decks used: Pamela Coleman-Smith Playing Card Deck, Mindscapes Tarot, Eternal Tarot
