Not Making Headway in Emotional Healing? Tarot's Hanged Man Card Says "Try Something New"

 Back in the late 1960s when various forms of psychotherapy and self-help modalities went mainstream the optimism was over-the-top. Do ABC or XYZ and you will restructure your psyche. 

Yet, here we are and lots of boomers (as well as younger generations who sought professional help or delved into self-help) still haven't healed. Past pain is palpable. Of course, it's getting in the way in the present. 



That's where the Hanged Man card from the tarot comes in. Its message is twofold 1) Change is coming and 2) To accomodate it you have to be willing to do tradeoffs. At the top of the list for the latter is to step out of the past. That's because to take full advantage of a fresh start you can't be distracted by what was or have your energy drained by all that chronic emotional pain. 

One of my tarot clients put that in simple terms: "I can get go of all that because I now have something solid to replace it." They had left a high-pressure position in management consulting which ate at their soul and health and started up a successful residential cleaning service. 

Incidentally essentially the same applies to romance. Broken hearts can begin to heal when those in pain open themselves up again to new relationships. The energy required for the search leaves no room for dragging along the earlier hurt like a sack of rotting meat.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-11-24 edi

Yes, There Are Content Workers - Many of Them Are Freelancers

"A majority of workers feel they’re fairly paid, but at the top of the list are independent workers across all industries, according to a recent survey of 2,500 American workers. The findings suggest that while earning what you think you’re worth is important, so is having some power over when and how much you work for the money." -  The Wall Street Journal, June 26, 2023 Today we call them "freelancers." Among them is Paul Chaney whose field is communications. On the all-important LinkedIn Profile , Chaney actually uses that term: freelancer . Not so long ago, those watching his back would have nudged him to go by the moniker "consultant." Recently, Chaney had me as a guest on a podcast about how the over-50 (who, of course, encounter so much ageism), can freelance. It received an award from Media Dimensions. Here you listen to that podcast and perhaps find your own way to freelancing.  Contentment with one's work has become the new American Dream.

Business in Crazy Times - Let in the Sun

Image
  " ... 54-year-old Rhodes Scholar [Bob Sternfels] had  finished a nose ahead  of McKinsey’s sunny digital practice chief Rodney Zemmel, who had taken the election all the way to a run-off." -  Financial Times,  February 5, 2024  You read right. The lightness-of-being Zemmel almost did become the next leader of McKinsey. Admittedly, in addition to his "sunny" disposition, Zemmel's knowledge base and skills are in high demand. As you can see in this  interview,  he is a global leader in the applications and implications of generative AI. However, the added value the Zemmel kinds of "sun stars" bring into an organization - especially those in upheaval such as McKinsey - is not expertise per se. It's optimism.  In contrast are the high-gravitas leaders who have bonded with went very wrong in the past. That is, they are the reverse of the Tarot's Walking Away Card. The message of that card is the commitment to head toward - even given the uncertain
