tarotprose:Inner Bully Tarot Spread.There is a quote by Susan Ariel Kennedy that states “The critical voices in our own heads are far more vicious than what we might hear from the outside.” This couldn’t be more true. I’ve been ashamed for a long time about who I am and the mistakes I have made in the past. I’ve dealt with bullying by others for a majority of my life but the biggest and most vicious one lived with me. It had gotten to the point where I felt unworthy of self-forgiveness and even the compassion of others. I have decided to be truthful with all of you about something I have been keeping deep within. I have been my own bully, emotional tormentor and horrible self-critic for a majority of my life. It had slowly developed with small instances of negative self-talk as a child and then evolved into this constant reoccurrence, this norm to hurt and berate myself mentally and emotionally. Throughout my life when I was bullied by others, I also partook in hurting myself emotionally and diminishing my self-worth in the mirror by making myself feel like I deserved the abuse that others were giving me. It has been eight long months of focused therapy but I am finally at the point in my healing and recovery process that I am comfortable to share this Tarot spread that I created on this journey of mine. While my healing will be lifelong, I am finally able to breathe again. It has not been easy to gain compassion with myself and say goodbye to my inner bully but I am doing so much better than when I started. I hope you do not think of me any differently but I completely understand if some of you do. Overall this Tarot spread aims to help me be kinder to myself and to accept the humanity and imperfections that is the human experience. It is my greatest hope that this spread can help you as it has helped me. Thank you for allowing me to share a part of me that has been weighing heavy on my spirit.
