tarot and dreams: embracing the wild within [preview]

Welcome to another free preview of my Patreon-exclusive series, where we delve into the art of tending to dream symbols and the exploration of the psyche through the wisdom of the tarot. In this episode, we're entering into the dream of Premium Submarine, Cameron.Together, we’ll will dive into the depths of a dream that blurs the lines between the everyday and the animalistic, revealing the universal archetypes that reside in our shared subconscious. We delve into a narrative that starts with a simple visit to a fast-food restaurant and escalates into a symbolic encounter with the energies of the deer and the coyote—representations of vulnerability and wildness that resonate with all of us. As we walk through the dimly lit streets of Cameron’s dream, we confront the primal instincts that govern our lives, from the protective urges that flare up in moments of perceived danger to the tranquil paths we seek for safety. Tune in to explore the common threads that bind our dreams to the collective psyche and discover how our innermost fears and desires play out in the theater of the mind.This is not just an interpretation of Cameron’s experiences, but a chance for all of us to reflect on the symbols and themes that appear in our own dreams. Join me in this unique dive into the subconscious, exclusive to our Premium Submarine community.TO UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE + HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN DREAM/TAROT QUERY: You’ll need to be a Premium Submarine on Patreon.

I don’t want to talk to your personality; I want to talk to your soul. Imagine if your most painful and debilitating mental health symptoms and self-sabotaging behaviors aren’t evidence of 'disorder' or 'dysfunction', but adaptive strategies that once kept you safe. My goal is to help you shift from asking ‘What’s wrong with me?’ to ‘What happened to me?’The word ‘borderline’ in this podcast isn’t about psychiatric labels. It’s about coming back from the inner psychological brink we all experience. Everyone has found themselves on the edge, in that liminal space where the old self falls apart and the new Self emerges. Here, we explore what it means to undergo true emotional alchemy: that ancient and primordial process of falling apart, confronting the underworld of our psyche, and falling back together into someone stronger, wiser, and more whole.Many highly sensitive people who identify with the seemingly never-ending list of diagnostic mental health labels contained within ‘the bible of psychiatry’ (the DSM) share the same underlying sense of being irreparably broken, disconnected from their intuition, and paralyzed by life’s existential questions. I believe the resulting—and perfectly understandable—chronic feelings of emptiness and spiritual starvation are the TRUE causes of our current collective ‘mental health crisis.’ Together, we’ll dive into depth psychology, mythology, human consciousness, critical psychiatry, and the impact of trauma to help you begin the process of emotional alchemy. This exploration will help you get to the root cause of your suffering and free yourself from the toxic shame, limiting beliefs, and mental programming that have kept you locked in the chains of your past.In an era where mental health and spirituality are too often commercialized, I’m not here as a guru with a quick fix to sell you. I don’t believe anyone is ever truly ‘healed’ or ‘cured.’ There is no return to some mythical state of pre-trauma purity, but rather a continuous spiral of unbecoming, unlearning, and transformation. As a fellow seeker, I will be there in your ear, walking alongside you on your path toward wholeness as a sort of parasocial big sister. That, I can promise. By integrating the concepts we explore together, you’ll begin to see that anyone—even you—can come back from the borderline.CRAVING MORE?
