In this reflective episode of The Tarot Talk Show, host George Dus explores what shadow work truly is β not a dramatic deep dive into darkness, but the grounded, compassionate process of integrating the parts of ourselves weβve learned to avoid. Through symbolism in tarot, George explains how the cards naturally reveal hidden narratives, emotional patterns, and unconscious reactions with clarity and care.
Youβll learn how tarot becomes a mirror for inner truth, why certain cards trigger strong responses, and how somatic cues often reveal more than the mind admits. The conversation blends tarot for personal growth, intuitive awareness, and gentle psychological insight β offering a thoughtful, mature approach to inner work without overwhelm.
George also shares a teaching story from his own tarot practice and guides you through an attunement to meet your shadow with steadiness. A collective card closes the episode with guidance for the week ahead.
