Life provides offerings. If we pay attention they can be useful. This is a great spread for when you have (or your client has) completed a year in therapy, a year around the sun, or when it just feels like it has been a while since you checked in with yourself. It provides introspection about last years (past) lessons, and gives a gentle (maybe) nudge into the coming year (future). Here you can explore ways that you can come into betterment with yourself and maybe listen to the universe a little. It's a pretty robust spread (10 -12 cards), so therapists, you better hustle through, or make this a two session quest.

1 -
​What past experiences or core beliefs are informing my fears and anxieties and making this decision more difficult? What shadows are clouding my vision?
2-
How have I learned from these experiences? What lessons can I take with me into this new challenge?
3 -
How am I getting stuck in this process? What can I do to get unstuck?
4 -
How can I get more grounded when things feel hard and I need to accept change. What resources do I have at my disposal? How can I get help?
5 -
How to tap into my inner wisdom? What inspiration can I draw from to help motivate me? What is my gut telling me?
6, 7 -
Two cards that represent the lessons that I might learn as I face this challenge and make some hard decisions.
8 -
Blessings, advice, and possible warnings, to inform me and give me strength as I take this difficult step toward betterment.
We all have those moments where we know that something needs to happen, and we are avoiding the challenging steps to initiate a change, walk away from something, or simply admit that we kinda maybe fucked up. This spread will offer some guidance on finding your strength. So why not ask the cards for a little enlightenment, even though you probably already have the answer. Watch out, you might find yourself saying "Fine! Tell me something I don't know". But sometimes we just need that little reminder to quit stalling. This is a great spread for dealing with avoidance in and out of therapy.
